Hey, same problem Ubuntu 10.10. Before I didn't noted this because I use
in my firefox flashblock but if you use firefox and open some youtube
video for example (or anything with flash content) and then open another
tab with a full black background, it becomes transparent and you can see
all the flash elements in the background as if it is transparent.

It is related because it have to be with black backgrounds.

Try it: 
Open youtube video in a tab
Open another tab and set the background to full black (#000000).

Now you can see the video in the background, lol.

My sister just claimed that from more than six months. I never noticed
about that because I was using flashblock but just a few days ago
disabled flashblock and now I see that. It is frustrating of course you
see all flash elements in the background of a page that does not make
sense.

The same flash content I saw in the background of a full black terminal.
WTF!!

I don't know how to solve it. I tested different nvidia drivers and I'm
using a custom kernel (compiled myself) version 2.6.39.4

It does not appears to be related with kernel, it appears to be related
with NVIDIA and XOrg.

I don't know who of both (nvidia module or XOrg) are considering what a
full black is transparent. And my sister and me are not using 3D. We
both are in 2D mode. So it is not related to OpenGL or 3D. It is
exclusively 2D problem (or surface/texture problem).

Please, test more trying to solve this because I don't like that
behaviour.

My sistem is Ubuntu 10.10 and kernel 2.6.39.4 custom compiled by hand. 
I have XOrg 1.7.5+6ubuntu3.1
