I don't know if this is related at all--but I haven't noticed this bug ever
since I fixed this related bug:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1237608.  I haven't spent
significant amounts of time testing it, and can't say that wasn't something
else that fixed it--but if you use compiz and have an nvidia card it would
definitely be worth trying.  Good luck.
