Hello,

As you can see from the last comment on this bug, the change to cairo has now been reverted on the grounds that a more correct fix has been applied to the X server.

The same fix is present in the X server in Ubuntu 8.04, and a stable release update for cairo has been proposed to revert this patch in 8.04 as well due to some performance problems that it introduced.

Can the folks who originally encountered the web page background errors in hardy please test the cairo 1.6.0-0ubuntu2 package from hardy-proposed, and follow up with their experiences to bug #219587, so that we can be sure this bug is really fixed before pushing it out to all users of 8.04?
