Bug Description

When using the keyboard shortcuts to switch workspaces, and a diagonal move is performed (from top left to bottom right, for example) the arrow icon looks pixelated and jaggy wheras the up-down and left-right arrows are clean.

I can say that, yes it is reproducible. To recreate it you just have to switch between two diagonally placed workplaces.

@Andrea Azzarone: I can reproduce this by just using the Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Key keyboard shortcut and pressing a vertical and horizontal arrow key at the same time to switch diagonally. No modification via ccsm is necessary.

Just a guess as to where to check...but in compiz, maybe the problem is in /plugins/wall/src/wall.cpp? Maybe in the

void
WallScreen::drawCairoTextureOnScreen (const GLMatrix &transform)

or

void
WallScreen::drawArrow ()

functions?
