Hi, Hard hang on ThinkPad T41 on Karmic Koala. Probably other "older" systems.
The current default "Change Desktop Background"->"Visual Effects" in Karmic is "Normal". On my ThinkPad T41, the Karmic version overwhelms the machine and causes a hard hang. I was able to resolve this on three separate machines, and accidentally discovered it when I had one machine that worked (two failed). I was able to get past this by immediately (after login) change the "Visual Effects" to "None". So far, enabling compiz on T41 with Karmic causes hard hang. Enabling metacity causes unusably slow response (of Firefox for sure). It seems that disabling all of compiz and metacity is necessary for "older" machines.
