** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
  Running Ubuntu version 8.10 AMD64.
  
  compiz version: 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1
  
  What I expected to happen:
  To find no graphical glitches.
  
  What happened instead:
  Certain GUI items (mainly menus, sometimes the bottom few millimetres of a window, occasionally gtk buttons but not certain about that), don't display correctly and instead display 'corrupt' textures, for example bits of icons, black lines etc. appear at certain places. If I drag a window over the 'bad' element, it fixes itself. If i get bad textures in a menu, reopening the menu 1 or 2 times will fix it.
  
  None of this happens when running metacity, either with a compositing
  manager or without. It seems to only happen with compiz, although I
  haven't checked any other window managers. The fact that it stops if I
  switch to a different window manager does lead me to believe, however,
  that it is an issue related to a window manager if not in particular
  compiz itself. Also - this problem doesn't seem to happen on the root
  account whether I'm running compiz or not. So could it be a
  configuration issue?
  
  My hardware:
  Video card: nVidia Geforce FX5200 PCI. I will upgrade this to a PCI express 9600 GT next month, so if it stops then it's something to do with the video card.
  Chipset: nVidia nForce 520LE
  CPU: AMD Athlon X2 6000+
  
  I've installed all updates as of Thursday 8 January.
