recently installed 9.04. Installed nvidia drivers, enabled compiz, all fine.
Sometimes, completely at random, the window contents will all go to hell. It looks like corrupted rendering, with window elements still present, but repeated or in the wrong place and some of the window being just noise. Menus and title bars are not affected.
If I manage to restart compiz, (almost) all is fine again and I keep working.
Is this a bug or something unique to me? In 8.x Xorg would not load my nvidia drivers, so I'm wondering if this is related.
