Here's a screenshot of sample screen corruption. This comes and goes (making the program repaint the window often fixes it). Notice:

  * Mangled fonts, e.g. in right-hand side of screen "Change your plan or services" mangles the "g", and it's also mangled
above there in "messages you've used". Also mangled in the text boxes, though it's harder to tell since they got overlaid with upside-down stuff.

  * "Welcome back!" box was rendered upside-down, along with "Log in to My T-Mobile".

  * Horizontal bar of colored "static" near bottom of window. Usually when I see this static, it's not so colorful, more like diagonal lines of black & white. See also the steeper diagonal line of black & white cutting through the bottom blue bar.

Usually by the time it starts mangling fonts, it's getting close to crashing compiz within the next hour. The horizontal lines of "static" come and go fairly frequently, for any window that's updating on the screen, and don't seem to lead to immediate crashes.
