I'd like to point out something that i have noticed in the last few
days, that contradicts a previous statement of yours;

"It's not true to say this is entirely an nvidia bug. After all, this
bug is a regression. It does not happen with any other compositing
window manager, and it does not happen with compiz 0.8."

While you claim this isn't an nvidia bug, i think you are probably
wrong. Likewise saying it doesn't happen in any other compositing window
manager is also wrong. I am easily able to produce blank windows in
Cinnamon if i play with the maximizing animations (i can produce black
windows during transitions, but once the animation finishes - you do end
up seeing the window contents - unlike compiz).

While it is true this is a regression in compiz and that 0.8 doesn't
suffer from this problem - that doesn't by necessity mean that the bug
purely compiz. it could just be that the old codebase hid the issue, or
some other (similar) scenario. I do think this is at least in part a bug
within the nvidia driver, that the OSS drivers do not have.

anyway, I''ve decided to drop compiz (after many years of usage).
Cinnamon is getting to a place where it is a suitable replacement,
replicates enough of compiz' plugins / features and seems less buggy (in
the few days that i have been using it steadily, built from git).
