Public bug reported:

This has been happening for a while, but now I think I've narrowed this
down to kernel updates.  Whenever I apply the updates, after I reboot my
terminal windows are all transparent and thus unusable.  Also, other
windows and menus, e.g. from the indicators, have a black background.
Changing the theme settings, disabling transparency in gnome-terminal
and logging out and back in do not have any effect on this behaviour.
The only way I've found of getting back to normal is to open System
Settings -> Hardware -> Additional Drivers and switch between "NVIDIA
accelerated graphics driver (version current)" and "NVIDIA accelerated
graphics driver (post-release updates) (version current-updates)", so
maybe DKMS is involved here somewhere.
