Stack Trace added, should be enough to debug or at least file upstream.

** Summary changed:

- xterm font corruption with unity and nouveau experimental 3d
+ xterm font corruption and X crash with nouveau experimental 3d (not just Unity)

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: unity
  
  Running FOSS/3D-nouveau drivers on Natty as of today, xterm fonts are
  corrupted horribly on input (not on output).
  
  To reproduce:
  - install natty beta 2
  - update all packages
  - Choose "additional drivers" and "experimental FOSS/3d support"
  - reboot.
- - open xterm in reverse video mode 'xterm -rv' (so it's white-on-black, the true way things should be)
+ - open xterm in reverse video mode 'xterm -rv' (so it's white-on-black, the one true way)
  - type into the window, all fonts will be horribly corrupted, almost just plain white blocks.  however, typing 'ls' blind, the output of ls is fine. but type anything else at the prompt and it works.
+ - If not immediately, this will cause X to crash.
+ 
+ Update: This happens with or without Unity
  
  This is with an NV50-based video card.  My home machine with a radeon
  3450 running the FOSS drivers and unity runs xterm without this issue.
  
- This seems similar to another xterm issue with compiz from maverick
- (IIRC).. except it affected the intel driver, iirc.  I'll see if I can
- dig up that bug for reference.
+ Crash has this stacktrace:
