[Problem]
On RS880 solid grey rectangles appear over icon text and window borders in some
applications in a compositing environment, namely Unity's launcher.  Unity
developers are able to reproduce this and say it is a video driver / mesa
issue.

[Original Description]
on current natty, clicking the Ubuntu button in the top left shows a window
with graphical corruption as shown in the attached screenshot.  sometimes there
are solid grey rectangles over the icon text too.
