I've been using the aplattner-patched compiz version for a few days now, no compiz tweaks (no messing with loose bindings or indirect rendering or similar), updating to the latest intrepid at least daily. I also haven't messed with nvidia-settings, as I have done in the past with Hardy. I have apt set up with a pin priority to avoid accidentally updating to an unpatched compiz. I use terminal all the time, and firefox, among other things, and haven't seen any of the refresh problems I saw before. I did see very frequent problems in terminal before the patch, especially it seemed when scrolling/paging and with the cursor at the bottom of the window.
But no refresh/damage-related problems at all after that patch, and I've been trying to push it the last few days.
