Looking at my backup, THERE WAS previous libwfb.so symbolic link
pointing to 'libnvidia-wfb.so.169.12'. I am not sure if this can be
simply deleted.
I removed new symbolic link, restored old one, followed Alberto's

I am working on 64bit Hardy and
Tom, try booting in both kernels and see if the problem is fixed in one
of them. Since the nvidia module is compiled for a specific kernel, it's
expect that the problem will NOT be fixed on one of them.

That is correct, xserver-xgl uses the Mesa OpenGL drivers, and doesn't use

I can confirm that using nvidia-installer fixed at least the shadows.
Can anyone figure out what makes our package fail? I'm trying to do it
myself, but an extra pair of hands/eyes won't hurt. I did notice that we
didn't have libcuda, but that isn't relevant :) It must be something in
the kernel
I can confirm that this is a packaging issue. Uninstalling nvidia-glx-
new and installing the drivers with the NVIDIA installer and option
--no-kernel-module fixes the pink shadows. I do not experience the
ugly titlebar bug, so I can`t say anything about that. However using the
NVIDIA installer
I confirm that I have been able to fix the pink shadows issue with the
following sequence of actions today:
- update kernel to 2.6.24-14
- uninstall nvidia-glx-new (sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new)
- install NVIDIA installer 169.12 WITH kernel modules (tried first without
modules, it does not
Same problem here. NV QUADRO + nvidia-glx-new.
Removing nvidia-glx-new and installing original drivers (with NVIDIA
installer) things go OK (until next reboot..), so I guess the problem is
only with Ubuntu packaging of nvidia new drivers...
Installing original drivers is not a work-around
Pink shadows as well on Hardy Beta up-to-date, 32 bits version, nVidia
8600M GT, nVidia drivers 169.12 from the official Ubuntu repository.

[nvidia 169.xx] gtk window decorator somtimes draws decoration ugly
Sascha:
I investigated the window decorator aspect of this fairly thoroughly.
See duplicate bug 194933. There is some form of corruption for every
window decorator (gtk-window-decorator and Emerald engines) and every
GTK theme, though with different degrees of severity.

Is it possible that this is a Problem between compiz and the window
decoration itself? With the Human Theme i get sometimes a very little
flare into the title bar chancing a subject in a thunderbird message
window but thats all. A Problem between compiz and some gtk-engines?
Cheers

OK at the moment i have sent the last message i see the same Problems
with the window decoration coming with the Human Theme.

I've got an nVidia 8600GT. I have the pink shadows, plus window
decorations of inactive windows vanish or get fuzzy.
While the window is inactive, hovering over the title bar and moving the
mouse cursor repeatedly into and out of the title bar area (without
clicking) can make parts of the title
