(Get the code!)
I have an Apple MacBook Pro 5,1 with nVidia 9600M GT graphics. I'm running on 64-bit Jaunty beta with the nvidia 180.44-0ubuntu1 driver version. I had problems with the title bars not getting repainted sometimes so you couldn't tell that the focused window was actually focused since it still had the unfocused window color in its title bar. Also, and more seriously, Kmail (and seemingly other KDE or Qt apps) would not update parts of its GUI when things changed until the mouse moved over the region. Ugh.

This seems so far to have fixed my issue! I'll have to do more testing to make sure, but so far it's looking good, and no noticeable performance impact.
This is a serious usability issue that nearly drove me nuts (and I couldn't point my finger at any one particular culprit (Qt, KDE, Compiz, Gnome, nVIDIA, etc.)) so I'm glad I found this bug report that seems to reflect my probem.
