I too get this problem after resuming from suspend to RAM (Thinkpad T42p, Ubuntu 8.10, not using proprietary driver). In addition to this problem displaying window shadows, I notice the background display when rotating cubes is also sometime corrupt after a resume - not sure if it is related.
Temporary fix: I have found If you start menu option System > Preferences > Appearance (not need to actually do anything in that window) it then correctly displays shadows. However, if you suspend+resume, the problem is back. -- Compiz fails to draw shadows after suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
