OK, I managed to reproduce it, and I'm attaching a screenshot (kind of). It's
not a screen dump, but a picture taken with my cell phone.

Here's why:
The corruption itself does *not* appear in screen-dumps. So whatever
framebuffer is captured does not include the corrupted pixels (I used
PrintScreen to make the dump). But they *are* there and it's persistent once it
appears. Probably has something to do with the fact that the cursor itself is
hardware-accelerated ?

I though about how I could reproduce it, and I went into the cursor theme
control panel in Gnome. I started switching themes back and forth, and quite
consistenly I can manage to make the corruption show itself after a while. It
might take a few shots. Please see the attached picture taken with my cell
phone. Hope this is of some help, at least .. Perhaps you will be able to
reproduce it yourself ?

Regards,
Øyvind
