bug#81239: 30.2; Leftover text artifacts with NVIDIA/Wayland

To follow up on this, I switched to the PGTK build of Emacs on my Wayland/NVIDIA system, and I have not experienced any major problems over the past few weeks. In particular, it doesn't have the leftover text artifacts of the GTK build.

Before I switched to the PGTK build, I also discovered a workaround which I'm sure decreases performance, but entirely eliminated the leftover text artifacts, and did not have any human-noticeable side effects. Perhaps it will be useful to people who experience this issue, but are unable to change builds.
