Additionally, Rhythmbox 3.0.3 is itself and makes everything else, ie.
the user interface painfully slow.

Only does this when the program visible, there is no problem when it's
playing in the background (Alt-F4)

Title:
  Graphics Slow After Upgrade 14.04 - 14.10

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using Gnome Ubuntu 14.10, Dell XPS 13, intel 915 Graphics

  After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 there are a lot of places where
  the graphics are working much slower than they were before:

  - Gnome Shell Interface is very sluggish, visible "chops" (redrawing)
  when pressing the [Super] key.

  - Selecting text in Gedit takes a full second pr. line

  Experiences some subjective improvement when I booted kernel 3.13.0-37
  instead of 3.16.0-23, but that may be my imagination as the problem
  persists.

  I've searched google, forums, found a couple of relevant links that
  point to the issue being the Intel drivers.

      http://askubuntu.com/questions/53962...E2%86%92-14-10
      http://www.webupd8.org/2014/10/ubunt...ent-1652086424

  But the drivers currently in 14.10 should be newer than those supplied
  by Intel to 14.04 so that doesn't make sense to me. As one Intel
  developer wrote:

  "I would like to point out that since what we do is bring more ecent
  versions of the software to the target distributions than they ship
  with, a 14.04 targeted installer is unlikely to bring much to a 14.10
  installation, which most likely has the same or more recent versions
  already anyway."
