I've seen this corruption problem when switching workspaces since
upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10. It's worst for gnome-terminals, i.e.
going from Thunderbird (after reading mail or even just selecting
various folders) and then switching to a workspace with at least one
gnome-terminal window. Sometimes it redraws the window contents
correctly, sometimes it has part or all of the overlaying Thunderbird
image in the g-term contents, sometimes just the window border is
corrupted, sometimes it flashes the correct window contents then redraws
the previous workspace contents, etc.

I have been able to make the problem go away by unchecking the auto-
focus feature (System/Preferences/Windows/Select windows when the mouse
moves over them). PITA but no more than selecting a blank workspace
between each workspace change.

What's it going to take to get the importance of this bug set to high
and assigned to someone to get it fixed?
