[Problem]
Screen pixellated line corruption which increases over time.

[Original Description]
After a while, my screen begins to be corrupted, showing bright pixels.

These pixels seems to be "attached" to the graphical object on which they
appear. For example, the bright pixels on the windows title bar move when I
move the window.

They are mostly randomly placed, and their place change each time a redraw of
the graphical object occur. For example, the bright pixels on background of the
time applet change every second.

An attempt was made to test different AGPMode settings, however the settings
didn't take while KMS was enabled, and when KMS is disabled there is a
different bug (black background and maximized windows are black).
