All performance and button rendering issues are fixed (which is pretty scary, by the way). Also per the following thread, the regression seems to target specifically 256. and 260. series of nvidia drivers (well, any nvidia user with a modern graphics card anyway): https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20790 As the patch is already included (or being included) in most major linux distributions, I'd assume it doesn't break stuff for non-nvidia users, so we should probably include it too.
