Bug Description

Freshly installed 12.10 desktop (in general, nice UI).
Every time after restart (i.e. restarting doesn't solve), various screen elements get scrambled after a while's work. Icon's, window area get scrambled and deteriorating to the point that the system is unusable as nothing can be seen. At that point I need to open a terminal window (which usually still works fine) and sudo restart.

Nvidia GeForce GT 530
With Integrated RAMDAC
70.8.51.0.a

The machine has 8GB RAM, 4 cores.
