While resizing window, or any update of window elements the colors cycle, as you can see in the attached screenshot in menu (colors as cycled on mouse over entries). A progress bar for example is a colorful random palette in the end, the progress icon flickers. This occured directly after update to version 11.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1. Restarting X had no effect, Iam running on gnome3 here. Screenshot attached. Thank you for looking at it.
