Public bug reported:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit into Gnome Shell
2. Observe black flashing squares near Activities button
Observed results:
I'm on 11.10 Gnome Shell, and about once a day, there's a screen corruption
around the "Activities" button right after boot: a random group of black
squares flashing on and off.
If I continue working, the corruption will get worse, and the top of the
screen fills with garbage spreading from left to right. See attached
screenshots.
Eventually, Ubuntu crashes to the login screen.
Only occurs right after login. If it doesn't happen then, it never
happens, so right now, when I see it, I log out and back in and I'm
good.
