[Bug 1080674] Re: [QEMU] Corrupted desktop screen for raring desktop installation in QEMU guest (Cirrus graphics). Affects KVM but not VBox.

 

I have a similar problem using qemu-kvm in kubuntu 14.04.1, while running linux-mint 17.1 or elementary os 0.3 beta 1 in the virtual machine.
In the case of linux mint, the desktop is more or less ok, but some objects are corrupted.
If you look at the first attached screenshot you will see three windows, two are ok (calculator and software manager) and one is corrupted (system monitor).
In the second screenshot you will see the elementary os desktop which is almost unreadable.
