Maybe a bug in the X server, but then, why does it occur only in Gimp
version 2.3, not 2.2, and in no other graphic tool ? Moreover, I have
the same version of Xorg on both computers, and the problem occurs on
only one. Still moreover, is not XOR drawing used for moving the pointer
image anywhere on the screen?
Thus I'm asking what could be specific to Gimp 2.3.
