Arthur Huillet (ahuillet),
Thank you so much for investigating and helping fix this!
This reminds me of why i love nvidia (great software) and improves on it by contributing to related projects (since it should be nvidias best interest that everything works when using theyr drivers).

Keep the awesome work and i hope more stuff like this comes from you
guys!

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.10 64bit (updated from 12.04) / NVIDIA GeForce 8 proprietary
  driver.

  This bug happens to me from 12.04 from some update I think.
  It appears mostly when I open a new application and only ocassionally.
  As temporary "solution" creating some other event like opening Unity dash or opening some next window, etc. fix it. Then window content is refreshed and I can see all correctly.
  Same with stable and experimental nvidia drivers.

  Screenshot of this bug is attached.
