Public bug reported:

When I switch between desktops not only are the windows on the new
desktop drawn noticeably more slowly than under 10.10, but parts of
windows from the previous screen remain on the new screen until I do
something that causes the relevant window to be re-drawn. Sometimes the
corruption is in the form of bits of the window underneath showing on
top of what should be the current window, rather than bits left over
from the previous desktop. This corruption does not occur every single
time I switch, but it is very frequent.  It also happens both with the
nv driver and with the current nvidia driver, which I would normally
use.

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 on an AMD Phenom2 x4 (3.0GHz) with 4GB and
nVidia 7600GS and did not experience the problem before upgrade. xorg is
1:7.6+4ubuntu3.1

I attach a screenshot.
