Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I have the screen set to blank after 10 minutes of inactivity in Power
Management. However, when I hit a mouse button or a key and the screen
wakes up again it's mostly black with a menu from a program or two
visible. I then have get hold of and drag a program window around to get
rid of the blackness. After that is completed the computer works as
normal. This happens in Classic Gnome with Compiz activated and in Unity
but not in Classic Gnome without effects, so it seems to me to be Compiz
related. I'm running Ubuntu Natty fully upgraded on a laptop with Nvidia
graphics and the nonfree driver enabled. This problem started about a
week ago. See attached screenshot showing Chromium becoming visible.
When I pull Chromium around the black parts of the screen comes back to
normal. If I do not touch it nothing happens and the black stays black.
