Package: libcairo2
Version: 1.8.6-2
Severity: normal

I am using my Debian workstation via an Exceed network X server from my
Windows workstation.

I recently upgraded my workstation to the latest Squeeze.  Now I cannot
run GTK applications without fonts and certain icons getting rendered in
an odd way: it seems as if the R (red) channel was nulled.  Please see
the attached screen shot.  You will notice that KDE applications (here:
konqueror) are not affected.

This looks very much like a problem that was discovered in the process of
fixing <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7294> (cf. comment
#30 et al.), which I also was affected by back then.  This is the main
reason why I think that libcairo2 is the culprit now.  During my system
upgrade, libcairo2 was upgraded from 1.6.4-7 to 1.8.6-2.  With 1.6.4
everything was working fine, although GTK applications admittedly ran more
slowly than they do now.

I do not dare marking this bug as "important" because probably only users
of certain remote X servers are affected, but it effectively prevents me
from using GTK applications productively.
