Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Confirmed
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
See the test case at comment #13.

In that test case, a simple python script using pygtk bindings is using Cairo/Gdk to draw red squares in a Gtk widget.

This script is working for any Ubuntu version prior to 9.10.
In 9.10, this script is working for ATI and NVIDIA gpu or under Xnest. But with any Intel GPU, the square are not displayed (see screenshot in comment #14 )

This bug is pretty severe as it makes applications like GTG (and probably others) unusable on a intel Karmic desktop.
