Comment 15 for bug 388160

While I don't have the expertise to pinpoint which package is the one affected by this bug, I can at least deduce from it happening both on other distros and Ubuntu derivatives as well as KDE and XFCE too, that it is a bug in X. The workaround posted would support this conclusion, but I can't be certain and don't know how to verify it. If there is some kind of procedure I could follow to find out, please post it here and I'll try to follow it. At the moment all I have access to is a Linux Mint installation on my girlfriends laptop because I recently replaced my old laptop and the new one doesn't work well enough to even have as a secondary OS. I could try a live USB or the livecd on a virtual machine (vmware player)
