Looks like the rotation code isn't quite perfect yet.

Before doing any rotation:

After rotating to inverted mode, and then (importantly) back to normal
mode:

Notice all icon images missing again, various glyphs turned to vertical
lines and a broken openbox panel black/grey gradient on the bottom.

It seems that right after the rotation patch at commit 8a61ef8f, the
problem is already present.

I would consider this a release blocker for a while. OTOH, rotation
didn't work at all with xserver-1.7+ before, so I guess it depends on
how quick we can find a solution for this, and if xserver-1.6 (where
rotation worked before) is affected by this.
