@alistair
I'd like to point out something that i have noticed in the last few days, that contradicts a previous statement of yours;
"It's not true to say this is entirely an nvidia bug. After all, this bug is a regression. It does not happen with any other compositing window manager, and it does not happen with compiz 0.8."
While you claim this isn't an nvidia bug, i think you are probably wrong. Likewise saying it doesn't happen in any other compositing window manager is also wrong. I am easily able to produce blank windows in Cinnamon if i play with the maximizing animations (i can produce black windows during transitions, but once the animation finishes - you do end up seeing the window contents - unlike compiz).
While it is true this is a regression in compiz and that 0.8 doesn't suffer from this problem - that doesn't by necessity mean that the bug purely compiz. it could just be that the old codebase hid the issue, or some other (similar) scenario. I do think this is at least in part a bug within the nvidia driver, that the OSS drivers do not have.
anyway, I''ve decided to drop compiz (after many years of usage). Cinnamon is getting to a place where it is a suitable replacement, replicates enough of compiz' plugins / features and seems less buggy (in the few days that i have been using it steadily, built from git).
