In time, I've learned that the ubuntu devs don't care very much about certain bugs. Take celestia for example: it needs to depend on the textures pack so that the planets other than earth have textures, but in a year and a half or more, nothing has been done. This nvidia bug affects a small percentage of users, and nvidia knows about it, so the ubuntu devs are just going to let nvidia handle it in their time frame. I'm sure that there is a way the blank windows could be worked around by modifying the graphics stack a little, but don't count on it happening. They have bigger bugs to squash most likely.
