Bug Description

Around October 16, 2012, I received an update to a number of X11 packages from the ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates PPA. After rebooting, the desktop showed artifacts/corruption after short periods of use and performance was noticeably slower. Assuming I got burned by the PPA, I decided to format and install Kubuntu 12.10. The live USB seemed to work fine, but once the install was complete (and all updates applied), the problem returned. Everything was working fine prior to that update, so this seems to be a recent regression.

My video hardware is an Intel HD 4000 chipset on an HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition laptop.
