** Description changed:

  == Update2: ==
  
  nvidia delivered a new driver: 381.09 beta
  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1002788
  
  From release notes:
  
  "Fixed a regression that caused corruption in certain applications, such
  as window border shadows in Unity, after resuming from suspend."
  (nvidia)
+ 
+ This driver can now be downloaded and installed manually from Nvidia
+ link, or via ppa from Graphics Drivers Team and sudo apt-get update (see
+ comment #54).
  
  == Update1: ==
  
  Nvidia states that the bug will be fixed in the next release:
  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/990898/linux/suspend-corrupts-
  window-manager-after-upgrade-to-378-09/2. However no timeline for the
  next release was mentioned.
  
  Meanwhile workarounds have to be used to alleviate/overcome the bad
  window borders and title bar caused by driver version 375.39.
  
  -- Possible workarounds for the time being --
  
  - Alternative A: Keep using nvidia-375.39 with workarounds.
                   E.g. kill or replace compiz process. See comments #13 and
                        #44 given below for implementation details. Beware,
                        some users found the command killed applications
                        like Firefox or Thunderbird on resume while others
                        did not.
                   E.g. Use "unity" command (see comments #4 and #23)
                   E.g. Click an effect in CompizConfig Setting Manager
                        (CCSM) --> Effects. (see comment $5)
  - Alternative B: Use alternative graphic drivers.
                   E.g. Install nvidia-340 package if that versions supports
                        your graphic card: sudo apt install nvidia-340. Or
                        use Nouveau display driver or other suitable drivers
                        available in System Settings --> Software & Updates
                        --> Additional Drivers.
  - Alternative C: Downgrade to earlier driver versions that worked before
                   the updgrade occurred. E.g. use nvidia-367 package.
                   Beware, that this driver version has unfixed security
                   holes! Downgrading works in Yakkety, possibly also in
                   Xenial, but likely not in Zesty. Command to downgrade:
                   sudo apt install nvidia-367=367.57-0ubuntu3 libcuda1-
                   367=367.57-0ubuntu3 nvidia-opencl-icd-367=367.57-0ubuntu3
