The Bright Side, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

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. Notes: My PC is a desktop.
