 level. Can you check if it still happens without acceleration? (Add Option
 "NoAccel" "true" to the Device section in xorg.conf) There's already a
 ticket about this but cannot find it right now.

 OK, tried that. I still see the same thing with icons getting cropped as
 it zooms in larger. Once it reaches large, the cropping is correct again.
 Try it on a round icon as it's easier to spot the icon edges getting
 sliced (Browse or Moon).
