I briefly switched to XRender yesterday.  My desktop and the open System 
Settings window rendered OK AFAICT, but the cursor rendered as a pixelated, 
flickering square.  Not really usable, obviously.  I didn't spend much time 
with it, as it was pretty hard to do anything with the mouse.  Has anyone else 
seen this?
