Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

It happens at random and only when drawing something: a menu, a
notification or something emergent. This bug wasn't present in Jaunty
and Ubuntu ran without problems, but with Karmic and Lucid this bug
doesn't seems to get fixed. In Karmic it was controlled since I stopped
using Kmess which used knotify4 and definetly it caused a lot of crashes
(the screen froze and olnly the mouse you could move, you saw everything
in the background but nothing reacted). Later I changed to Emesene and
that left the crashes to occur only barely randomly if I was using
Emesene and Java on Firefox. However, now in Lucid it has become more
random and occurs just for the sake of happening. I know the problems
with the i845 and those kind of chipsets has come from a long time back,
since compiz has came in and the chipset was blacklisted, but please, I
would like my computer just work. Thanks in advance.
