The updated package fixed the compositing issue in KDE/Kubuntu when compositing was auto-disabled on start up. Now compositing starts just fine. I am still seeing graphical artifacts in Chrome when viewing something on Google Reader. It seems to occur when there are a lot of items under a topic. The other artifacts are in the game Shisen-Sho (KDE Game) and the moving or not moving of the tiles. A window move usually clears that up.

This is better no doubt, but it isn't fixing much after compositing has been enabled, and that could be do to other issues elsewhere, maybe Scott K. knows more with that.
