Same bug on all my computers (all with nvidia) and also on
colleague's machine.

Problem is affecting also gnome-terminal. If user don't use any
workaround, machine is almost unusable. If it is possible to use
server_side_gradients.patch please do it as it will help really huge
number of people.

As for workarounds mentioned in Przemysław's report:

Workaround 1: really simple and immediate help so user can start at
least use his computer. But this one solves one bug and bring other.
Just try to do dmesg in terminal - it becomes really slow (doesn't
depend on terminal used)

Workaround 2: pinning is problematic at least in unstable as many
packages depends on more recent version.

Workaround 3: works great. I didn't find any issue so far (at least
with nvidia).

It isn't problematic for me to recompile cairo with patch from w 3
every time new version arrive and distribute it on my computers but
real problem is that many people can't do that or hadn't find this
solution.

Regards,
