Applications intermittently open up blank windows - the menu bar appears at the top but with nothing visible underneath it.

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have no idea what the source of the problem is but so far it has affected, apparently randomly, the update manager, the download folder, Firefox and Chrome browsers and the applications manager.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. All previous versions of the Os have worked fine.

It's OK now. I reverted to gnome2 classic and the problem has disappeared,
so I'm guessing that the real culprit is my old and seriously under-powered
computer.
