Fair enough. I was just unhappy to see all the debian bugs pointing to this bug that provides fixes for radeon driver and work around libcairo that do not fix the problem even for this radeon driver.

I use both and do not experience theses problem with cairo 1.12 for the record...

This implies that the bug is not in the glx drivers. Sorry but reading the message this was NOT clear at least for me.

I do not want to make pressure. I just opened a bug for the impress slide show problem as requested because either the bug is in xorg itself and the current fixes proposed in this thread are only work around or the bug is elsewhere.
