The following setup should make it easier to reproduce the bug: 1) Turn auto-hide on (of course) with an un-hide timeout of 0 2) Turn the HD DMA off 3) Make sure that the machine is swapping a bit 4) Lower the CPU frequency (e.g. 600 MHz - 1 GHz)
This is obviously extreme, but it should make the problem happen more often. My actual setup (where the bug still happens) is: Pentium-M 2.13 GHz (with powernowd often reducing speed to 800 MHz) 1 GB RAM, no swap HD DMA on. -- Autohide bugs https://launchpad.net/bugs/48226 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
