Created attachment 9364 [details] [review] Clear the pixmaps on allocation
Fixed in git, thanks!
Actually, I don't like this. calloc is wildly expensive for large pixmaps. The callers should just initialize their pixmaps correctly.
This is presumably just accessing bits beyond the right edge of the pixmap; the cursor display code does carefully fill the entire pixmap. The thing to do is put in a special valgrind mode which clears the padding in the pixmap without clearing the whole pixmap.
