[Bug 298475] Re: [GM965] Icons on KDE plasma panel are garbled

[Geir Ove Myhr]

Hi Patola,

Since the problems went away when you removed xorg.conf, I tried to
add you options in the Device section to my xorg.conf - and then I
also saw garbled icons (not quite the same as you, but still very
garbled, see garbled-kdeicons.png attached). Playing with the options
I found that it was the MigrationHeuristic greedy option that made the
difference (this is the default in Hardy I think, but I don't know
what the default is in Intrepid).

So at first I thought it was this option that was the source of the
problems. But then I noticed that without the option, or with "always"
or "smart" instead of "greedy", I still get slightly distorted icons,
just not as pronounced as when I was using "greedy". I attach two
screenshots from without the option (default) and one each for it set
to "always" and "smart". In the "always" screenshot the power/battery
icon has part of the laptop icon behind it. The "default" screenshot
has something behind the klipper icon, and the "smart" screenshot has
something behind both the klipper and volume icon. Also the background
of the volume icon is sometimes black and sometimes gray (as in
transparent, since the bar itself is dark gray).

I also attach my xorg.conf, although except from the mentioned options
the only thing that has been changed from standard is added options
for supporting the stylus of the tablet (Thinkpad X61).
