The problem was identified as being the Nvidia binary driver's
historically bad X RENDER extension support.  A fix has been identified
as upgrading to the latest beta drivers, if possible.  Because a user's
card might not be supported by the beta drivers, I have suggested that
these users should inquire to Nvidia (via their forum) to see if they
will be backporting these fixes to the older drivers.  I don't
particularly think that suggesting another dock is appropriate for a
rendering issue.  A frequent crasher, sure, assuming that the fix cannot
be diagnosed and fixed in a reasonable amount of time.  I could make
analogies using this scenario using other software, but I don't really
feel like it.
