So we seem to have eliminated xmonad as the source of the bug; it seems
to be something about tiling WMs in general. That leaves either (g)vim
or xorg. I tried to compile an earlier version of vim to test this but I
always get an error about there being no ncurses library so I have to
use the standard Debian package.
