This change did not fully solve the problem. One text file in gedit displayed
as blank initially for a bit, although things then seemed fine. But the freeze
with "[drm] stuck on render ring" happened during a second run of gtkperf -
while the "GtkDrawingArea - Text" test was running.
But I didn't spot any corrupted characters while running 2.99.907 with
MAX_FLUSH_VERTICES set back to 6 - although I hadn't been running that for very
long, and I only see a single garbled char occasionally, and I think they only
appear in Firefox.</pre>
