I don't know why this bug has been marked as invalid. "Every screen
change triggers full screen XDamage event" This is exactly what happens
and it didn't used to be this way. I run software that depends on damage
events and it has now ground to a halt. Yes, a damage event doesn't mean
that every single pixel within the area has been updated, but there's a
big difference between a little margin for correctness and just
invalidating the entire screen all the time.

Frankly, I've had it with whatever compiz quirks get introduced with
every new version of Ubuntu and I've switched my WM to KWin.
