  Binary package hint: compiz
  
  I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.04, and since then I seem to be
  getting a strange artefact.
  
  When I switch windows with Alt+Tab, regardless of the used switcher (I
  used both the Ring Switcher and the Static Application Switcher so far),
  sometimes, without a specific pattern, the window I switch to stops
  repainting itself. That is, I can click in it, type in it, etc., and it
  updates itself internally, but it doesn't repaint to show the changes.
  It feels as if it's frozen.
  
  After I Alt+Tab again, and switch to it, I can see the changes I made
  while it was frozen, and then everything works for a while, until next
  time it decides to do it. It doesn't have any preferences on which
  window to freeze. It can be any window, at any time.
  
  Switching between desktops has the same effect (with the same uncertain
  reproducibility). So far, it never happened while switching windows
  using the mouse and the taskbar.
  
  Now, I don't know if it's compiz or nvidia at fault here. I tend to
  think it's nvidia, because I don't get this behaviour on an Intel video
  card running the same software with the same settings. And if I get a
  new nvidia driver and it stops doing this, I may even close this bug.
