Disabling accelerated download-from-screen resolves the corruption issues with
bitmap fonts (or non-anti-aliased fonts) in Gnome-terminal. However, it slows
down immensely without this kind of acceleration. Scrolling in Gnome-terminal
is unbearable, maximizing/minimizing is very slow (probably because this
triggers huge redraw-operation).

I prefer it faster with slight corruption ;). Also, notice that when I use a
regular anti-aliased font (like Ubuntu's default Monospace), then the
corruption _never_ occurs, even with accelerated DFS.

[As another side note, Firefox scrolling seems not to suffer much when
disabling accelerated DFS. There's also slightly more tearing when motion is
rendered in Compiz.]
