This looks like a driver problem to me Bug 753394 - Severe display corruption in gnome-shell (KDE works) I think that it is the same bug, additional info in that bug filed by me Adding the following script to the start-up programs (gnome-session-properties) helps a bit. Artifacts *will* appear again, though:
#------------------------------- CUT HERE ------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
STARTED=`grep -i "GNOME Shell started" ~/.xsession-errors`
while [ -z "$STARTED" ]
do
sleep 1
STARTED=`grep -i "GNOME Shell started" ~/.xsession-errors`
done
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings active false
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
sleep 1
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings active true
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true
#------------------------------- CUT HERE ------------------------------------
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
