Title:
  gnome-terminal corruption when switching workspaces

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My box is a Lenovo T400 (4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 3400). After I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04
  via Update Manager, gnome-terminals undergo a corruption when being redrawn under certain
  cirumstances. The system is fully patched. I use Gnome 2.32.1 with Metacity.

  In workspace 1 Firefox is open, in workspace 2 are several xterms (created with "gnome-terminal
  --geometry=100x40"). In one of these xterms vi is running. When I switch from workspace 1
  to 2 with Crt-Alt-Arrow, the content of the xterm with vi is sometimes not redrawn correctly. In 
  these cases it contains the stuff of the Firefox window of this screen position. I need to move the 
  faulty xtrem just by one pixel, and everything is redrawn correctly. This is not exactly reproducible, 
  it simply happens from time to time. I still try to find a pattern for this behaviour.
