Iceweasel rendering problems still exist in Iceweasel 3.5.11 in Sid

The Iceweasel rendering problems still exist in Iceweasel 3.5.11 in
Sid, but only on my ATI Radeon "fglrx" machine, and not on my nVidia
GeForce "nvidia" box. Some web pages turn all black, with some text
parts visible. Moving the mouse cursor shows the text (boxes/fields)
below the cursor but does not render the entire web page. Selecting
the entire web page (Ctrl-A) shows all text but no other graphics.

The bug can be repeated in Icedove and I have been recommended to
install the 'experimental' version of libcairo2; but I feel it would
be better to have this bug fixed in the food chain.

The temporary fix is to use any other browser, as this bug is only
shown in Iceweasel/Icedove. I run KDE 4.4.5 and have composite turned
on in my xorg.conf.
