Hi, I'm really excited about Ubuntu 11.10!

I upgraded and can use the Unity shell, but that's not what I'm excited about.

I did a sudo apt-get install gnome-shell, and started up gnome.

It has some graphics problems (see attached). Basically some letters in the fonts appear as blocks, and the background is teal.

lspci on my graphics card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Juniper [Radeon HD 5750 Series]

I was using the ATI/AMD drivers before the upgrade, and removed them in an attempt to fix the problem. They are gone, graphics work great, and it didn't help the gnome problem.

Any suggestions?

Same problem here, except my menu is in magenta.I notice that the update when going to the top left corner is sluggish, as if the video driver was not using 3D. Ideas?

Also having this bug and it's annoying.... Turns out when I turn off my Wi-Fi it stops.... Turn it back on and it just starts doing it again.

Same to me, with a mobility radeon 5145, no wifi interaction though.
