Public bug reported:

When I use nvidia graphics driver, I get unusable black windows wherein
all the controls in window are rendered black thus making it unusable.
This happens sporadically with any running application so there are no
definitve steps to reproduce this.

This happens with an Nvidia GeForce 6100 card, however it does not
happen on my NVidia GeForce 8400M GS card.

With Noveau drivers this does not happen. Till maverick nvidia drivers
worked perfect.
