Ok, some more info on this bug:

I was experiencing this bug on my work computer (Intel dual processor with Intel Graphics card) and on my home computer (AMD quad core processor with ATI radeon 4xxx series card using the legacy drivers). I upgraded my ATI card to a radeon 6450 card to get off of the legacy drivers and still experienced the bug.

THEN

I bought a real big honkin' nVidia card (660t) to allow SLI and the bug just stopped. Didin't matter if I used opensource "nv" drivers or the proprietary drivers from nVidia. I can use widgets, notification, etc... with no issue. Has been that wy for almost 2 weeks now. Ever since I replaced the video card.

Seems like the issue maybe with widgets/workspace appearance and graphics accellerators. From the looks of all the other people submitting the bug, I saw a lot of ATI/AMD and Intel cards. I didn't notice if anyone was using nVidia.
