Thank you, everyone. 
The cache regenerating command didn't help, sadly.
kdemeoz - I should have thought of that! I've gotten so used to having it in full-screen, that I forgot it doesn't have to be. And I *cough* didn't notice the timer option. Oops. However, now I don't seem able to paste the image into Firefox. (I can copy it just fine - tried in Spectacle, Gwenview, Okular and Dolphin - there's just no option to paste it here. It's greyed out.)
The macbook's graphic card is Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB (Sandy Bridge). I looked it up and it says it supports OpenGL 3. All that I find for drivers in Maui is the VMWare one. But then, I currently only know one way to look.

Using the default noto-sans font and OpenGL 3.1, the application menu launcher is missing random S's and E's. Not all of them. Once in a while, it will show up in krunner in the suggestions below the box. With OpenGL 2.0, more letters get eaten. With Xrender, the entire screen does funky stuff. I changed that back in a hurry. If I switch to Droid Sans Fallback font, all letters return. Shutting down the VM and restarting doesn't change things. There never have been any problems with any programs.
Oh, if it makes any difference, I'm using the Oxygen theme.
