I just enabled Desktop Effects on my Feisty system to try it out, since I am something of a fan of this type of thing. (After all, eye candy like this is great to show Microsoft users… ;-))
Anyway, I am having a whole host of problems, and most of them seem to be related to this very bug report. I am not sure if I should create a new bug report, or just comment here, so I will just comment here first and if necessary create a new bug later. Essentially, under certain circumstances (sometimes seemingly random) the body of a window refuses to show up. I am unable to run GNOME Terminal, xterm, or uxterm, for example, because the contents of the windows do not show up when they're run with Desktop Effects enabled. Some pop-up windows (like when attempting to file a bug in Launchpad and you choose "Search" for the package) in Epiphany have the same problem. I have been able to replicate this behavior across reboots, and it was only after I updated today and enabled Desktop Effects. This is the only problem I have found so far. It does not seem to be an application-specific thing, either. So far, as I mentioned, it affects: * GNOME-Terminal * xterm * uxterm * Some pop-ups in Epiphany I am sorry that I do not have more information to provide at this time. I am working on it. -- Rhythmbox doesn't show its window anymore when desktop effects are enabled https://launchpad.net/bugs/88490 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
