Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I'm testing gutsy d-i i386 20071009.1 on a few-years-old laptop with a
40G hard disk.  After the install (whole disk, LVM, crypto) is completed
I found that:

When I ask it to open an application, while it's thinking about it, the
mouse pointer jitters.  This happens only if I move the mouse while the
machine is thinking about the new application.  It is as if the mouse,
as I move it, sporadically and very temporarily leaps back to the
location it had a few instants previously.

The effect seems to happen whenever I put the machine under a bit of
strain by asking it to do something and then expect to use the mouse
while it's thinking.

This is very distracting and I originally thought it was some kind of
hardware problem however it goes away if I turn off compiz, no matter
how hard I ask the machine to work.
