Public bug reported:
I have a tri-boot computer: Windows XP, Windows Vista (ugh), and Linux
(Ubuntu). After upgrading to 8.04, I noticed that my desktop GNOME
desktop was running as slow as Windows Vista! For some idiotic reason,
the desktop was set to use "enhanced" video settings, which did little
to improve the appearance of the desktop, but did wonders for making it
slow as hell. Mind you, I'm running a dual-core AMD 64 computer, with
the latest nVidia drivers for my GeForce 7600 GS video card.
This just makes Ubuntu look bad. The desktop video enhancements should
be OFF by default, not ON. Earlier versions of GNOME would crash if
these were turned on with my video card, so some users of GNOME may be
having issues with the new version of Ubuntu if these features are left
on.
After turning off the video enhancements, my desktop was zooming agian,
and it wasn't taking 2-3 seconds for a window to pop up, or for the
desktop to respond to clicks. I'm just glad FVWM is still available as a
package.
