UI not properly redrawing

[D Rhodes]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Ubuntu 11.04, Rhythmbox 0.13.3-0ubuntu5
The attached picture describes what is happening better than I can explain it. The expected result is that the application realigns its top border with the menu bar. This occurs after the application has been minimized and then redisplayed from the launcher. It affects the mouse as well, as the mouse doesn't know that the application has moved, so as a result selects the object one line above what was intended to be selected.

I too have been experiencing problems with 11.04 not redrawing. I think this problem resides upstream (i.e. in Gnome or X) as I have experienced the same and additional redrawing problems with Banshee, Rhythmbox, Nautilus, Thunderbird, and Chrome as what you illustrate above. The primary problem I've had with Rhythmbox is only a portion of the screen is redrawn until I move it. For example, anything covered by a window in the foreground is not redrawn when Rhythmbox is brought to the foreground (I'll post a screenshot next time it happens). Because I've seen redrawing problems elsewhere, might this issue reside upstream?

The attached image shows the result of a right click in Chrome did to a section of the Thunderbird window. Again this was fixed when I moved the window.

I looked through the logs and didn't find any errors/warnings in:
/var/log/dmesg
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/var/log/gdm/*

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 on NVidia 270.41.06. I'll be happy to include any additional details needed if asked.

Similar issues reported elsewhere, but with different applications.

Very similar problem, but with a different application:

Another redrawing issue with similar sounding experiences, thinks problem is in Compiz:

Possibly related to Nvidia driver issue?

Windows are drawn with a vertical offset about as large as the menu bar. Several Applications are affected. Mouse cursor is offset as well. Possibly a bug related to AppMenu?
