I've seen this corruption problem when switching workspaces since upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10. It's worst for gnome-terminals, i.e. going from Thunderbird (after reading mail or even just selecting various folders) and then switching to a workspace with at least one gnome-terminal window. Sometimes it redraws the window contents correctly, sometimes it has part or all of the overlaying Thunderbird image in the g-term contents, sometimes just the window border is corrupted, sometimes it flashes the correct window contents then redraws the previous workspace contents, etc.

I have been able to make the problem go away by unchecking the auto-focus feature (System/Preferences/Windows/Select windows when the mouse moves over them). PITA but no more than selecting a blank workspace between each workspace change.

What's it going to take to get the importance of this bug set to high and assigned to someone to get it fixed?
