After the kernel update on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 x64 from 4.11.2 to 4.11.3 some GUI apps become broken, the visual image is attached.
For example, geary email app has empty GUI window and the following log:
$ grep gear /var/log/syslog

Updating the Geary itself from the Ubuntu-default version 0.10 to 0.11 did not fixed the issue.
Most of other apps works fine.
