Probably unrelated but similar issue, though _without_ SNA (having an
intel 4500MHD, using rawhide): sometime after mid-july I have started
suffering severe redrawing issues, see [1] and [2]. Unfortunately I
spent a few weeks working with the discreet graphics, so I missed the
version after which issues started appearing. I am now gradually testing
older xorg-x11-drv-intel packages to try to identify when breakage
started, I suspect it is sometime after
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.20.0-1.20120718.fc18. Issue appears only after some
time, and is definitely an intel issue (switching to the AMD discreet
card it works fine). Also, GTK applications are affected much more
severely than Qt ones. I was hoping to gather more information before
filing a bug, (at least which version causes the breakage) but since
this was brought up, here it goes...
