[Bryce Harrington <718339@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for providing a good bug description.

l8gravely, you should also run 'apport-collect 718339' to attach some
logs and config files we like to have for troubleshooting X bugs.

The specificity of this to compiz suggests an issue in mesa or kernel
drm, rather than xterm.  For now let's treat it as a mesa bug.  Might be
-radeon specific.

On current natty running -radeon with no compiz, I can confirm that the
issue does not occur (tested with xterm running top, mutt, etc. and
resizing the window).  (I'll test with compiz once I've finished
building a new mesa to test.)

Meanwhile, please do attach screenshots (or digital photos if the
corruption doesn't show up with a simple screenshot).  With corruption
bugs we ALWAYS like to have images since often what looks like noise can
reveal details to a knowledgeable expert about what the video memory is
up to.

Also, there have been several other xterm/corruption bug reports lately
(see also bug #713440 and bug #717114).  A photo would help prove
whether this is a dupe of one of those or not.

Again, please provide a photo and run apport-collect 718339.  Thanks!

** Package changed: xterm (Ubuntu) => mesa (Ubuntu)
