Actually this might be Mir's fault still. The first time the bug was noticed was when we introduced NBS and the fix back then was to back out NBS I think. But now I'm actually looking at the NBS code and it seems like it might be dropping the newest frame from the client without any guarantee the client (OSK) will ever produce a new one. Not totally sure, but this might be Mir's fault.
