artifacts generated when window moved quickly

Version:           SVN (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Trailing artifacts when moving windows and windowgeometry affect is enabled (see attached image)

Only happen if window are moved quickly, slow movement does not appear to cause them

running kwin-4.6.95 (4.7rc2) under OpenSuse 11.4 x64
self compiled Nvidia driver 280.04

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
move a window quickly

Actual Results:  
trailing artifacts appear

Expected Results:  
no trailing artifacts
Comment 1 bill p. (aka google01103) 2011-07-20 11:57:37 UTC 
sorry - is reproducable
Comment 2 Thomas Lübking 2011-07-21 21:24:02 UTC 
I can reproduce it with "unshadowed" decorations.

It probably derives from the SIGNAL/SLOT mechanism for moving steps (can loose events, resp. remove detail) - AND the fact that the present updating mechanism is merely a HACK :-(

Note to self (and others ;-)
------------------------------
KWin::Effects _needs_ a way to let effects specify _cummulative_ (and not exclusive) window paddings.
(Shadows are gone but suffered from the same issue, present are at least blurring and the geometry effect)

Try to keep the labels in the expanded geometry

and ensure to repaint labels for very tiny windows
Also move to LayerRepaints
