Bugs,
I'd just like to point out that this bug is more than a cosmetic issue,
it has privacy implications, as well. Anything displayed on screen at
any time may be viewed again minutes, hours, or in some cases days later
by any user.
Usually, it's just a brief 1 second flash, but in extreme cases when
I agree with okparanoid - nvidia (without telling anyone, apparently) made a
work around (not a fix, not solving the problem). This same burden should not
be placed on every other graphics driver.
Remove the patch.
Remove it for 9.04.
Remove it now :-)

I believe that using nvidia-glx-180 series solves the problem (currently
on Kubuntu jaunty)

The problem is not coming from NVidia.
NVidia just workaround this specific patch coming from ubuntu... This is
obviously not the solution of the problem.
Others cards drivers haven't a workaround for this and should not be bloated

@Michael Chang: I've always had and still have this problem on a machine
with an nVidia 7900GTO (currently on 8.04) in Compiz and xcompmgr. My
Intel-based laptop didn't have this problem in Compiz in 8.04, but it
has appeared after my 8.10 upgrade. (I also tried out Arch Linux + KDE4
on that
Feisty is more than two years ago... Perhaps perfomance problems have
been resolved in xorg upstream and this unofficial patch doesn't is
relevant anymore...
This cause a really big issue for all the kde users. Thanks to take care
of us.
Cheers !!

I recall seeing this sort of garbage in early versions of compiz; but it
seems to have been worked around, since it's quite clearly not there
