This very likely points to GNOME being the source of the bug.  The title
may somehow be making Mutter refuse to update the screen after it
receives damage notifications from DBESwapBuffers.

I asked Dimitry to place an xclock window behind Emacs which changes
every second.  If that fixes the problem, then it is certainly a bug in
GNOME.
