It also fixed the corrupted transparent window decorations. I temporarily solved that problem by setting metacity_theme_active_opacity to 1 in the GNOME configuration editor. Now, I can make them transparent again. Thanks Tom! This trick fixed the pink shadows problem.

Additionally, glxgears shows twice better performance, boosting fps from 7k up to 14k. CPU usage goes down as well, making the whole UI work noticeably faster.

I did not even have pink shadows but no shadows at all! (using restricted drivers on fresh install with 8800GTS) The drivers from the nvidia web site worked fine but you have to reinstall them when the kernel changes (fun during the alpha period) Works great now!

I have a question about another problem that has been bugging me for days now: With Compiz & Gnome, sometimes when I click on a window in the task bar (to display it), it goes half away on another desktop, so it's partly on each, but it seems the coordinates are somehow wrong, for example if I click on the maximize button for that window, it doesn't take the full screen and If I click somewhere in it, it doesn't do it at the correct position... And once it happens, if I click on any other window in the task bar, it gets wrong too. Sometimes the windows disappear completely (even though the process is still running). The only ways I have to "fix" temporarily the problem is to: 1) close all windows, then it doesn't do it anymore 2) restart X... I know my explanation is not quite clear, sorry, but if you had this already, I think you'll see what I mean. I tried looking for known bugs but didn't find any that matched my problem and I'm not too sure where it can come from (gnome, compiz, emerald, ubuntu?). Thanks in advance if you find anything that can help me ;)) Have a nice day. Hi,
