I'm having the same problems in gnome-terminal and gvim on Ubuntu 11.10.
Gvim just randomly fails to redraw parts of its window, particularly
down in the : command area when I hit Tab to complete filenames or
buffer names.

In gnome-terminal, if the line I'm typing wraps onto a second line, it
typically doesn't render properly until I hit Enter a couple of times.
This is more likely to happen when I've got more than a screen's worth
of text and the cursor is at the bottom of the window.

I updated the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver from "version current"
to "version current-updates", but it didn't help. I removed the NVIDIA
drivers, but it didn't help either.

I have two laptops running Ubuntu 11.10 which have no such problems.
