it looks like it is related to XServer with no backfill functionality

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/xserver-no-backfill
"This PPA contains a variant of the xserver with background initialization disabled. This will result in background corruption (video garbage) in windows or new objects, however it also gives a performance boost, and on some drivers the corruption isn't noticeable."

This is imho a major issue for natty release because it affects
"Classical Session"

** Description changed:

- When I open a menu I get graphical corruption, some artefacts.. it seems video memory is not clean or has some issue.
- This issue appeared with Xorg 1.10 (from its first rc release) and it is present in a virtual machine and also using a Nvidia or Intel gfx card so it seems not related to graphic drivers.
+ When I open a menu I get graphical glitces, also metacity decorator is
+ corrupted.
+ 
+ This issue appeared with Xorg 1.10 (from its first rc release),
+ it is reproducible with different graphic drivers (ati, nouveau, nvidia, gma500, vesa, vbox),
+ it is present with metacity and with metacity compositor, only with compiz activated is no more present.
