Bug Description

When selecting 'log out' from the K menu, the logout dialogue displays correctly, but the background (which in previous releases would be greyed out) displays garbage - mainly fragments of previously open programs. (See attached screenshot).

After clicking logout, the desktop looks fine during the log out.

In case it matters, I'm using an NVIDIA Quadro FX 370 with the 177.80 drivers (latest in 8.10).

[lspci]
00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 82X38/X48 Express DRAM Controller [8086:29e0] (rev 01)
     Subsystem: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Device [108e:5351]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 370 [10de:040a] (rev a1)
     Subsystem: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:0491]

Can you please advise if you use desktop effects? I have seen something similar when I don't use desktop effects on both Ubuntu and Gentoo.

Yes, I have desktop effects disabled (because they're too slow on this card).

Similar situation here:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] (rev a1)
Sony VAIO laptop, desktop effects disabled, garbled logout screen

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)
Workstation, desktop effects enabled, the area where a context menu is appearing displays for a short time some garbage (logout screen is fine though).

Both use the latest nvidia drivers (177).

Hi river-wikimedia,

Thanks for including an image to demonstrate the issue. Could you also please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
