Public bug reported:

When moving a window, the screen doesn't update except for the mouse
cursor if I move the cursor more than ~20 pixels per second, until I
slow/stop.  If I continue to move the window back and forth
continuously, the screen will never update.

Occasionally a new window will have fluid movement, but that goes away
under many different circumstances (alt-tabbing to it, having it touch
an edge of the screen while moving it, etc), at which point it acquires
the taint, and will never move smoothly again (i.e., after a
minimize/restore).

This occurs with or without sync-on-vblank.

This still occurs after updating from the latest in -proposed and
rebooting; it seemed like some of the recently fixed bugs regarding
lazy-positioning in the move plugin might have also fixed this, but
evidently not.

Before updating to -proposed, I compiled a version of the move plugin
with an instrumented moveHandleMotionEvent which logged which branch was
being invoked of:

	    if (ms->optionGetLazyPositioning () &&
		ms->hasCompositing &&
		!MoveWindow::get (ms->w)->mLocked)
	    {
		/* FIXME: This form of lazy positioning is broken and should
		   be replaced asap. Current code exists just to avoid a
		   major performance regression in the 0.5.2 release. */
		w->serverGeometry ().setX (w->geometry ().x ());
		w->serverGeometry ().setY (w->geometry ().y ());
	    }
	    else
	    {
		w->syncPosition ();
	    }

Windows used the first branch when moving smoothly, but _only_ the
second branch once they had been "tainted".  I haven't repeated the test
with the code in -proposed, although I believe this was reworked
somewhat there.
