I have the same problem but on a dell laptop with integrated NVidia chip. The chip is NVidia Geforce 8600M GS and since I upgraded to 5.4 my laptop is unusable (very slow window movement). I'm thinking of reinstall 5.3 to have a working laptop. I can't change GPU chipset. There is a solution to get a working window manager back?
