Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
when the visual effects are disabled, the notifications which appear on the top right of the screen are
garbled. Instead of text on a black background, a grid of different colours appears. The same happens
with the system monitior, including the title bar (see attached png).

This appears to be a duplicate of bug #426582, so I am marking it as such. There are some workarounds in that bug discussion which may help.
