I've been trying to reproduce with a slow connection simulation, but the
progressive display is just that: progressive. And it works properly
here.

Try downgrading libcairo2 to the version currently in unstable (it looks
like you are using the experimental one). If that doesn't fix your
problem, try downgrading your X video driver.

Depending on which fixes your issue, please reassign this bug to the
corresponding package (attaching the output from
"reportbug --template $package" will probably be appreciated by the
package maintainer)

Cheers,

Mike
