Public bug reported: When I switch between windows, or switch between tabs in the same window, or switch desktops, part or all of the affected windows often fail to repaint (or repaint and then revert to "stale" content). Unfocusing/refocusing the affected window usually forces it to repaint again (but may then leave another window "stale").
It doesn't seem toolkit-specific (happens with xchat, firefox, chrome, skype, gnome-terminal, ...). Attached is a screenshot showing an example of corruption after switching between two tabs in xchat.
