  I'm hoping this bug, along with the tool-tip issue, might be considered minor enough to not warrant holding up the show until we can get fixes out (which should be soon). The desktop is still essentially usable with them present, right? And the backend already depends on a fairly recent version of the driver with support for all of the required EGL stream features (some of which are fairly new).

  I had noticed these as well, I believe the problem was that the previous version of the backend didn't check if a buffer's size ect. had changed in EglStreamTexture::updateTexture, but apparently in some cases it is necessary to do so. Anyway, these should be addressed now. System Settings does appear to be rendering correctly with this version of the patch.
