This patch fixes the problem for me. But I can not reproduce the problem mentioned in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76450#c34 so there are still some problems probably.

It looks as though something is wrong with the "transparency" setting, since most of the incorrectly-rendered files have a black background, but the figure can somewhat be made out on top of hte black background. The PDF files I have tested are NOT affected. EPS files that were previously viewable correctly ARE affected. Thank you for your time.
