Bug Description
I'm running Natty Narwhal on x86_64 but using the gnome-session, not Unity, environment. My home directory is NFS mounted from a Debian x86_64 box. My desktop was running 10.10 with the latest updates before I upgraded this desktop using the non-gui method of 'do release-upgrade'.
If I don't re-size the xterm (version: XTerm(268)) everything is ok. I can shrink the xterm and have the new size work ok, but growing the screen area, shows corruption.

I tried to investigate this, using today's build of Natty.
However, its installer had a fatal error.

symptom doesn't sound like other bug reports (unless this is yet another
complaint about compiz - report doesn't specify).
