It was of no help to me with any settings. The only thing that really 
works, sort of, is manually "refreshing" the screen. I don't need any 
extra gadgets to keep it under control, because I run a widget layer, 
which is a big part of why I want compiz. So when anything on my screen 
goes bad, I clean it up with two keystrokes -- activate and deactivate the 
widget layer.

Those of us who remember working on remote machines through a VT100 will 
not find it terribly annoying. Remember how we used to send Ctrl-L 
whenever something wrote garbage on the screen? Same thing here. It's 
wired in my brain. Much I as want to be rid of the bug, I can manage it 
this way.
