Thanks for the detailed description. I tried that and I did succeed in
demonstrating a bug that appears in Daniel's patch, but not mine.

So far I've only seen the bug occur on the second line of a folder
icon that had a name long enough to break onto two lines.

Some of the artefacts I see are:

	Glyphs changing sizes

	Vertical stems of some glyphs disappearing

	The left-most column of some glyphs disappearing

The combination of those suggests to me that the measuring and
rendering code are getting different results for something that should
be identical.

Interestingly, I've only seen the buggy behavior while the nautilus
icon is selected. If I unselect the icon or let go of the mouse
button, the label is always redrawn correctly.

I was going to suggest you do this since you were the only one that
could reproduce the bug. But I'm hoping that now Daniel will be able
to reproduce it and he can do this kind of deeper testing.

Meanwhile, if Behdad gets the pango bug fixed, then maybe some of this
will go away, (but independently, I'd like to figure out what cairo is
doing wrong here and fix it).
