I noticed the Muse sequencer also causes the same artifacts and lockups when resizing. While playing around with options, I discovered the following workaround that fixes the artifacting/freezes on all offending applications. Launch the application as follows: env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

Seeing as a number of people are upset at the lack of activity from nvidia in regards to this issue, i did some digging and if someone has the know how or canonical has the developer power i think they should take a look at the nvapi to do an open source driver http://developer.nvidia.com/nvapi

I can confirm that --notransparency seems to fix the problem on Ubuntu 11.04 as indicated in #43, and is, at least for me, no problem unlike disabling desktop effects as a whole. Interestingly, though, my setup does not use any transparency while resizing (or at all, for that matter), so
