After today's updates, I can switch on medium level desktop effects. With effects on, menus and application windows randomly leave graphic artefacts on the screen (lines, boxes, text e.t.c), however notifications and the monitor window are now visible. The artefacts make keeping desktop effects on impossible, with them turned off again, the notifications and the monitor window problem returns.
