So, the problem doesn't happen with an older nvidia driver (358), and
i wanted to try again with a more recent driver (367) and the released
E-21 (previously i had been using the beta E-21).

I had the exact same problem... So i tried the above suggestion. After
digging through the configure options for the various libraries and a
few false starts, i found you have to add:
   --enable-egl --with-opengl=es
to the configure options for efl. I then recompiled elementary and
enlightenment to be on the safe side and it works! Window contents are
back, using the newer driver.

Quick question, though: What possible consequences are there from
switching to egl? Besides the obvious, that it works while gl didn't
:) Specifcally, setting the above opengl option to "es" instead of the
default "full"?

Thanks,
-Conrad.

Is there a way to do it from console? Because menus are black so I cannot
really click.

BTW, I noticed this when updated nv drivers to 364.19 and 367.27, but it
works in 358.16, except that this version doesn't compile in Linux kernel
4.6 (it does in 4.5).

Try Settings/Compositor/Advanced/Rendering
and uncheck Texture from pixmap

Conrad,

I have had this problem since the last two or three nvidia driver 
updates on Arch Linux.

I know it is not a real solution but the only thing I found that worked 
for me was change to software rendering in the settings for compositing.
