Nvidia 180 made the problem much worse for me. I also played with UseCompositeWrapper. I made a little matrix of fail, using konsole:

- nvidia 173, no UseCompositeWrapper: baseline problem. Most evident when using ctl-pgup/pgdown to switch between tabs, the new tab does not repaint over the old one. Also evident when "exit" would close a tab, it should switch back to an existing tab, and it does, but the screen does not repaint to show that this happened. A mouse click anywhere in the window causes repaint.

- nvidia 173, with UseCompositeWrapper: similar to baseline (UCW has no effect)

- nvidia 180, no UseCompositeWrapper: baseline problem moves. Now tab switches look ok, but sometimes screen does not repaint after any shell command. Might be slightly more evident near the bottom of the screen, I can't see much of a pattern, but missing repaints are frequent and konsole is unusable

- nvidia 180, with UseCompositeWrapper: similar to nvidia 180 (UCW has no effect)

Did not try the sync option, that sounds horrible.
