  Bugs in the package I'd prefer to be handled by the package
maintainers, but this one is an X11 bug we should probably track down
and fix. Usually when there is a problem with visuals, it's often very
specific to that workstation, and hard to duplicate. In this case I'd
also suggest they run glxinfo and xdpyinfo, since that'll have more
specific info on this problem.

  Ideally this bug should get reported using the Savannah bug tracking
for Gnash, which is the best way to get things handled.
