My dev setup:
nvidia drivers
ubuntu 11.10 64bit
xterm
vim

I've tried two possible solutions mentioned here:
http://lists.clug.org.za/pipermail/clug-tech/2011-June/045329.html

Which are:
CCSM -> Workarounds -> Fix screen updated in XGL with fglrx
CCSM -> Workarounds -> Force synchronization between X and GLX

But these didn't work for me.

I do find that if I turn off syntax colors in vim the problem seems to
go away (or at least the probability of it occurring is so low I haven't
yet seen it).

alt-tab then escape is a way to redraw the xterm screen as well.

I can't seem to turn on unity-2d as in James' instructions. unity-2d is
installed but not option in the gears menu (I haven't hunted for an
alternate way to turn it on as yet).

It'd be great if someone has another workaround that doesn't involve
turning off syntax highlighting.

Adding another image attachment example with areas that are lost
highlighted in case more evidence helps...

Thanks.
