Tom, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-
support/product/latitude-e7440-ultrabook/drivers/advanced an update to
your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A16). If you
update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Display corruption when using some QT programs

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When using Virtualbox and some other QT based programs I get very
  strange window corruption. It looks like the screen is painted several
  times over eachother, and when transitioning to another sub-window the
  previous windows elements are still on the screen. I've filed this
  under X due to the errors I get in the console (and the fact it
  happens on multiple different programs). I've had this occur on the
  compiz settings manager (ccsm) and Virtualbox. Restarting the process
  fixes the issue, but it appears to randomly trigger and to occur from
  the application start.

  When using Virtualbox I get this error in the console:
  Qt WARNING: X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
    Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
    Resource id:  0x0
