So I did end up seeing the refresh problems while using the aplattner-
patched compiz and Emerald. After turning Emerald back off, no refresh
problem so far. I wonder if this is some timing thing and I am just

I turned on emerald, using GrayDarkIce theme, and it doesn't seem to be
any different. No terminal/tab switching artifacts. So now our package

be relevant:
Load"glx"
Disable "dri2"

I had this problem, most easily reproducible switching between firefox
tabs.

At least in my case this seems to be an nvidia bug. I found in the
nvidia forums:

I tried their suggested temporary fix:
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=0 -a GlyphCache=1
They say this will be fixed in a future driver release.
I also see this on one of my two setups.
