Bug Description

When my system upgraded to 304.88-0ubuntu0.0.2 I started having sporadic black window decorations. I also started having windows open up with completely blank (black) contents. Often closing and reopening would fix it.

Downgrading back to 295.40-0ubuntu1 has completely fixed the issue.

lspci tells me I have:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1251 (rev a1)

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04

$ uname -a

I updated to 304.116-0ubuntu0.0.1 and this still happens, although somewhat less frequently.
