You can "solve" the problem by disabling the accessibility support.
I and many people turn this on, because after you disabled the option /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources in gconf (to get rid of the - sorry - crappy animation when you minimize/maximize windows), you only see a wire-frame, when you move a windows around. With the accessibility support turned on, windows stay "whole" again while moving them. http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1283681&postcount=2: -- The problem is gnomebaker is not getting along with the accessibility module. If accessibility support is not a requirement for you, it can be disabled with the gconf-editor. The relevant key is /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility. Uncheck the box and then restart your session. -- -- Gnomebaker doesn't start. It fails with a GThread-ERROR https://launchpad.net/bugs/34158 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
