Public bug reported:
After upgrading to Natty I started to see that there are problems
repainting the desktop.
As I work through the day, suddenly blocks of the screen are replaced by
what it is the background picture, in other cases it is the border of a
window that should be behind the one that is bring to first plane.
I started to use Unity and then switched to Ubuntu Classic to start
discarding possible culprits. Currently I am running ubuntu classic.
I was running nvidia driver 275.09.07 when running Maverick, and have tried
natty supplied driver as well with no difference at all. I
Currently I am running external nvidia driver 275.09.07 as the Ubuntu
Additional drivers application failed to restore the previous driver.
I think this problem has been previously reported but I struggle to find
similar bug reports.
