I should have thought of that one - for a long time you had to put an
option in xorg.conf to disable Composite, due to problems like this.

I really appreciate having fairly up-to-date Nvidia packages in
Mythbuntu - I have also struggled with the Nvidia install (and worse,
uninstall) process in the past.
