Thinking it would improve my experience, I installed the restricted ATI driver on my laptop. Restarted the system and...no wobbly windows. No desktop effects. The setting was set to 'None' in Preferences->Appearance, and clicking either of the others resulted in the error message 'Compiz extension not available'. Suffice to say I've learned my lesson about proprietary drivers, as I've gone back to the free driver and desktop effects are sorted! On feisty I was using the restricted driver with Beryl (and then plain old Compiz), so I don't know why it's such a different experience on Gutsy. But I am very impressed so far :) -- Josh Blacker -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
