This also happens with XDM: the letters look like the reflection in a lake, and
the keyboard stops responding (incl. magic SysReq).  Reverting
xserver-xorg-video-intel from 2.8.0 to 2.7.1 fixes the problem, as indicated in
http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/17951.html

I'm going to open a new bug report on xserver-xorg-video-intel, since none of
the current ones seems to describe the same problem.
