I suddenly started to experience this bug when I updated my NVIDIA
drivers from NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.79 to >= 340. The only workaround
I've found is:

CCSM -> Utility -> Workarounds -> Force complete redraw on initial damage -> check (not sure if this helps)
CCSM -> Utility -> Workarounds -> Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint -> check

Bug description:
  == Proposed compiz-fusion-plugins-main patch ==
  See comment 234 by Anders Kaseorg and attached compiz-fusion-plugins-main_0.8.2-0ubuntu2.debdiff.

  == Original report ==
  Binary package hint: compiz

  I'm using latest compiz on intrepid.

  Since jockey-gtk does not work on my box (I already filed a bug), I
  manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and added the "driver → nvidia" line
  to xorg.conf.

  Now I seem to be having some screen refresh problems when using
  compiz: parts of the screen are refreshed, but others aren't. That
  means nautilus doesn't show files or folders until I move the cursor
  over them, firefox doesn't show webpages properly until I scroll down,
  and so on.

  Please, tell me if there is any additional info I can provide to find
  out the cause.
