Trip report:

1) If I start Xephyr like this: "DISPLAY=:0 Xephyr -auth .Xauthority :1 
-screen 800x600", there's alot of corruption on the whole screen (and 
the Xephyr window does not show), but the corruptions looks slightly 
different than usual (lots of black bars in a checkers like formation). 
Also, the VM_CONTEXT1_PROTECTION_FAULT_ADDR-error does not trigger! 
Tried with DRI2 and DRI3, same results (and type of corruption) with 
both.

2) If I start Xephyr like this: "DISPLAY=:0 Xephyr -auth .Xauthority :1 
-ac -screen 800x600 -glamor" (with glamor that is), the Xephyr window 
works (but the KDE window decorations around/belonging to the Xephyr 
window looks corrupted). Both with DRI2 and DRI3, window decoration 
corruption with both. No triggering of protection faults here either.

If I then, after starting Xephyr with -glamor, start dolphin like this: 
"$ DISPLAY=:1 LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose dolphin" I get this log:

And the dolphin window works inside Xephyr without any corruption, and 
no messages in dmesg.

And just to double-check, starting dolphin on :0 yields, yet again, a 
terrible mess on screen, and VM faults in dmesg - same as before.

assertions are enabled on mesa and llvm, but I haven't disabled -O2 and 
stripping of debug info yet.. should I do that next, so it'll be easier 
to run through gdb?

(I have no qualms of giving you shell access of this machine if you want 
to have a look around...)
