Thread: Window/Application - 'Appearance' corruption

-

i have problem (corruption) 'appearance' of applications when using emerald/compiz. have attached 2 screenshots show problem. first (compiz-1.png) shows 'corruption' on row/column numbers , menu bar, when using compiz. second image (compiz-2.png) shows same application having switched metacity, without 'corruption'.

doesn't appear affecting applications - 2 know of open office , wine.

although problem not affecting window border management, if switch metacity compiz ok (although can't use various effects come compiz).

using 32 bit ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) on sony laptop (intel mobile cpu), nvidia graphics, although had problem 09.10 , hoped solved updating. however, had been able use compiz without problems.

stranger have deskside pc (although amd rather intel) has nvidia graphics. have used both 32 bit , 64 bit ubuntu 10.04 on same applications , emerald/compiz theme.

so, although have re-installed laptop, assume have somehow corrupted settings somewhere, can't see what/where may be.

can offer ideas on look, or solve problem.

update:
have found solution indicate there may proble latest nvidia driver on sony laptops.

appeared had not installed nvidia driver correctly, re-installed , 'hardware drivers' indicated using 'version current - recommended' nvidia driver. this, in itself, did not resolve display corruption. however, selected 'version 173' nvidia driver , no longer see corruption display.
attached images attached images

thanks posting this. i'd been coping while resizing windows , zooming in , out fix problem while. switching nvidia driver recommended 173 seems have fixed it.

reference, problem affected open office , wine me. screenshot of how things looked before fix below.
