It would be interesting to know if this happens if Compiz is turned off. I have had similar issues with the Kwin stuff. Also what is the version of X, the video card and its driver that your are using? It _may_ be relevant that there were some X related updates released today. Have you installed them? ( you'll have to log out of your account and re-start X for them to have an effect. ) -- With Sincerity, Christopher Sawtell
