[Problem]
Infrequent window decoration corruption under Compiz with EXA.

[Original Report]
I observe occasional corruption of window decorations. It is quite rare, though. It manifests itself as a tiny, horizontal, white line of garbage in the upper right corner of the affected window (on the decoration/frame, across the transparent shadow).

The window decorator is the standard gtk-window-decorator that comes with Compiz on Ubuntu, with decorator setup at defaults and standard Human theme. I have no screenshot of this at the moment, because I am not sure how to reproduce it, but it does happen. I will attach a screenshot to this bug as soon as I see the problem.

Xorg driver in use is xserver-xorg-video-radeon git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2.
EXA-acceleration is enabled.
Ubuntu 8.10 (fully updated, installed from RC).
Compiz is enabled.
Human window decoration theme.
Graphics card: ATI X1400 mobile radeon (R500), 128MB RAM.

If more information is needed, please say so. I am also willing and able to test new GIT-snapshots of the radeon driver, and provide feedback if problems are fixed, etc.

does:
Option "AccelDFS" "False"
or
Option "RenderAccel" "False"
help?

I sincerely do not know :).. 

But seriously, I can try reproducing this one, but it's really hard, as it happens only very rarely. I have some vague memory that it has happened when stressing Compiz by opening lots and lots of windows. I might try that later. When I find some reliable way of reproducing, I can try the acceleration-options and see if disabling any of them helps.
