1. start blender, dismiss splash screen
2. make sure it's in window mode (not full-screen)
3. switch away with alt-tab
4. switch back
5. move cursor around
At this point either one or all blender window contents disappear and black solid-fill content
is shown instead. After more interaction i.e. mouse clicking within the window area restores
the contents.
Can't reproduce it in full-screen mode, or when switching away/back when the splash screen
is still on.
Can't reproduce it in any way in 2.49b (official version in Ubuntu 11.04)

Intel cards and drivers can be really crappy. Please try running blender-softwaregl and tell if it works for you. Note, that composite effects should be disabled for correct work of softwaregl.

Most probably it's driver/card fault, we already have such reports. Moving report to OpenGL tracker. Feel free to provide additional info when you'll have it/

Thanks for your answer!
I couldn't figure out how to run v2.59 version in software EGL mode, I haven't found blender-softwaregl.
Google brought it up in connection with 2.49, but that version works anyway, so I didn't bother. Could
you explain how to go about it?
On the other hand I tried disabling compiz based on your comment and that did away with the problem.
