Well I been through customization of Ubuntu but never faced this kind of Issue ! Just FI

Quote from Screenlets Site
The goal of the Screenlets base-classes is to simplify the creation of fully themeable mini-apps that each solve basic desktop-work-related needs and generally improve the usability and eye-candy of the modern composited Linux-desktop.

I wanna ask , Does Screenlets still use 3D Composite Manager to Run ? Sure ?

If yes then please see this

AFAIK, Screenlets devs are working to remove compositing manager as a dependency.
so some of the screenlets are rendering correctly while few of the others are not rendered that well.but screenlets as of now needs composition manager to render all screenlets correctly.
