What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run thunderbird
2. use the arrow keys to move up and down the message list quickly
3.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You expect the highlighted line to move up and down in response to the
keystrokes. Instead highlighted lines are sometimes left behind. Also, the
message pane is occasionally not redrawn when a new message is displayed

Please provide any additional information below.
Moving your mouse out of the frame will cause the frame to be redrawn.
This problem is much worse in mythtv (a qt application), with basically
every other screen refresh failing. Mythtv is essentially a keyboard only
application, so you may need an app that doesn't need a mouse to really be
annoyed by this problem.
graphics car/driver would be of interest here I guess. does it work with
compiz or other gl compositors?

Haven't tried any other compositors. e17 works fine with it's built in
composite engine, but that's using the software engine. I'll try switching
it to opengl.
from the ecomorph faq, try:
nvidia-xconfig --composite nvidia-xconfig --allow-glx-with-composite
nvidia-xconfig --render-accel nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
nvidia-xconfig --damage-events
restart X. if xorg.conf is not used anymore one have to put the sections
from /etc/X11/xorg.conf somewhere else in /etc..
The extra options make no difference to the problem.
