Thanks for making this connection Vasek.  I was ignoring this thread since I 
assumed by AIGLX the users meant the DRI drivers.  It would be good to 
confirm users experiencing this problem are actually using NVIDIA cards with 
the binary driver, that the pixmaps being bound are power-of-two sized, and 
that the cards being used are those affected.

The affected cards are those that don't support the 
GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two extension.  This roughly means GeForce FX and 
older cards.

The first 100-series linux driver we release will contain the fix for this 
issue.

Thanks,
