I did some tests on my laptop:
   - kvm.git + mst's patch
   - qemu.git (upstream qemu)
and still got graphics curruption.


Corruption:
   On usual Desktop environment, I opened two terminals on different
   workspaces. Then as Jan did, I did "find /" loop on both of them.

   During these heavy updates, I tried to switch between these
   workspaces some times. Then, at some turn, some part of old
   workspace's images like terminals and mouse cursor remained
   in the new workspace.

   I could refresh these by moving mouse over the problematic parts.
   But without doing so, the images remained still.


Refresh is not working on virtual machines as I expect?


Thanks,
   Takuya
