Hi.

I have exactly the same issue.
I seem to be able to trigger it faster by opening firefox on a page with many
images.

Current Kernel: 3.8.3-103.fc17.x86_64
Other kernels affected:

kernel-3.7.9-104.fc17.x86_64
kernel-3.7.9-101.fc17.x86_64

After further investigation, this issue only seems to happen to applications
using the gtk libs.
In my case at least ...

After triggering the bug, any app which is using the GTK libs will be affected.
It does not seem to affect other app's ( not using gtk ) rendering process.

Also, the same issue doesn't happen whilst using the NVIDIA drivers, which
are
just impossible to use as in my case the system is just unusable slow.
