so, this is it. Yes, I do have tearing, especially visible on very large windows. It's a sort of frame refresh glitch, isn't it?

Honestly, I couldn't care less. But then again, I'm extremely picky about bad kerning, bad font hinting, and bad antialiasing. And I could start caring about this also... So now I hate you for ruining my life even more! Fortunately, I never move windows around so I guess I'm still safe with Xorg.
