wierd graphical issues in quantal unity compiz

[Claes Comly]

You can see with the following screen-shots that the notifications of the bottom right has glitches out and always shows up blank white. Top right notifications are not affected.

Also something that might be related is certain windows get unframed and or transparent copying whatever the background is when moved around.

sorry for the lack of logs, the bug collection bits are broken atm, apport etc.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:
    apport-collect 1101207
When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

sre_constants.error: nothing to repeat

this is what i get and similar effects ending with nothing to repeat. There was a workaround i tried but it seemed to be dated and didnt work. As soon as apport and ubuntu-bug work ill return to proper bug reporting, (apport has accually been broken for a long time, i just havnt gotten around to try and fix it untill recently).

anyway i tried apport-collect 1101207 the above output was given on crash.

ok so the graphical glitches seem to be gone, im not sure what i did to fix it, i did add the staging team ppa, might have been that. So what do i do to mark this as "magically fixed somehow" ?. Now i just need to get apport working again.
