I managed to solve my corruption problem
(http://www.mclure.org/xfreeproblem) by using option
"XaaNoSolidTwoPointLine". Then I started looking for a solution for
another problem I've seen - when the Gnome "logout" dialog shows, I see
two thick black vertical lines from the top of the screen on down to the
middle of the dialog to either side (I haven't been able to find a way
to get a screenshot of this, unfortunately). To fix this issue, I needed
to set all of "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect",
"XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill", "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" and
"XaaNoSolidFillRect" - if any of these is unset then I see the logout
problem. However, this makes things very slow when dragging windows, so
I think I'll live with the logout problem for a while.

If there's anything I can do to help debug this?

Thanks,
