..none other than seing this (appear to) appear on upgrading FG to
2.0.0-2 (from 1.9.1.1 which was ok on the same bleeding edge radeon
driver,) and seeing some (accidental?) improvement in FG-git and 
FG-2.0.0-3. 

..I see none of this nonsensical camouflage pattern animation
in any other program, that lead me to believe this is a FG bug.

..always possible, how do I check?
I see radeonhd has DRI issues, I'm on radeon, not radeonhd, I never got
around to check with that driver, requires a reboot to unset KMS
AFAIUI, which won't happen until I have replaced the 3/4 dead bios
battery.  
A bit scary having those boot aborts happen to your only link out.

..reasonable suggestion, #611803, is why I also asked the Nvidia 
crowd to try reproduce it with the nouveau driver, my potential 
DRI bug would show up there too, if it's an e.g. DRI bug from 
e.g. re-used code from radeon or libdrm-radeon1.
