Bug Description
This bug may be related to metacity, but I am uncertain of that.
Since I upgraded to Natty, I've been having a problem when logging in with the Gnome desktop (the Unity desktop is not available for me because my graphics card has no available 3D driver). I've defined eight workspaces, arranged in a 4x2 fashion. When I switch workspaces, using CTRL-ALT-
This is, however, not always the case, and I cannot seem to figure out when it does and does not happen. If I trigger a complete screen redraw, for example from a terminal by triggering the visual bell, then everything is restored to how it is supposed to look.
I've attached four images: one of the workspace at (1,2) (on which I'm filling in this bug report), one of the Gnome Terminal at (2,2) and one of the Gnome Terminal at (1,2). When I'm viewing workspace (1,2), then switch to (2,2) using CTRL-ALT-

I would like to assign this to the proper graphics driver set. What card are you using? You can find out in the terminal by typing:
lspci
Thanks.
