Title bars in sawmill suddenly turning black, GNOME pixmaps
disappearing/getting corrupted, that sort of thing.

Funny, I even have the option turned off and I've still got:

Still, it's not just me. Several friends have come to me after my
recommendation that they try sawmill+GNOME with the complaint that their
title bars were getting messed up, and turning of MIT-SHM solved it.
One is running -current, another is running 3.4-RELEASE. And I've
heard the same thing on the mailing lists.
