Re: [Bug 108720] Re: fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk

2007-04-23 Thread glenby
Not that I know of.
I downloaded the beta when the kernel was .12 (now .15)
I have kept the machine on daily updates.

Machine is a plain semperon 1700+, nvidia agp 660gt
Problem occurs regularly enough that I decided to report it. The problem
seems to be time related - i.e. machine is idle, gone to screensaver but
to standby
or hibernation etc.

Basically I can have the machine just sitting there with evolution.
Everything works properly (I can load apps no problems and move them to
other desks) but
when I switch to another desk, there are no panels - balloon messages
can appear (new song or email received)
but I cannot click on the panel to see what it happening. I can alt+tab
between open windows but
I cannot get to menu's to do anything else.
only way around this that I have found so far is, ctrl+alt+backspace or
ctrl+alt+f1 and do a shutdown from the console.


as a test to see if I have compiz, I ran it from a user xterm with
--replace.
it works but menu's have disappeared and I cannot close active windows
without
compiz now running.

I will look into compiz to see what it is. - sorry but I havent been
using linux much since 
the very early days and all the new stuff is unresearched.


thanks for your interest so far.

have enabled xgl - what a difference in speed.
3 or 4 times better - the gimp now works reasonably too.

thanks heaps

head in.
will disable tomorrow.
