FOUND WORK-AROUND: (This is not a proper solution, just a work-around that works well.)

Install package: notification-daemon 0.4.0-1ubuntu3 (gets rid of garbage in notification balloons)
optional: libnotify-bin (notify-osd library containing command-line 'notify-send')

Fixes: Garbage displayed in notify-osd balloon. Balloon now contains text and a countdown timer (if specified, and there isn't any documentation in 'man notify-send' on how to get the timer).

Side-effect: Balloon position may not be the same, and moving the mouse over the balloon doesn't hide it.

Note: xorg.conf setting of 24 bits/pixel -> 16 bits/pixel may not be needed. (Tested with 64MB video RAM, not 32MB).
