This is also reproducable while using an app such as thunderbird, where changing the window title often causes this issue.

Using Nvidia-glx-new in Hardy

Steps:
1) Open a window to write an email in thunderbird.
2) Change the subject of the email, the window title should change each time a change is made to the subject
3) At some point the window decoration will be corrupted around where the window title should be

I can also report one other case where the window can be drawn incorrectly.

Not every startup, but often the window border is redered wrong, wrong colours and wrong maximise/minimise/close buttons (size at least).

The issue can be fixed by swapping to metacity (metacity --replace &) then swapping back to comiz (compiz --replace &). Then borders are drawn correctly.
