Just to clarify --
In Maverick, Xorg was working (well enough), with compositing, with KMS off (and only with KMS off).
Now, compositing doesn't work with KMS off.

If I turn KMS on, compositing does work, but the amount of cross-program
graphics corruption makes the system unusable, both with Maverick and
with Natty. However, there is corruption either way, whether or not KMS
is running, and regardless of whether or not compositing is working.
There is simply a workable amount of corruption when KMS is disabled.

I guess the point of this particular bug is:  KMS now seems to be
required for compositing to work.  Is that a bug, or intentional?  If it
is intentional, then this bug can be closed as invalid.  The corruption
issue is open elsewhere.
