the upstream installer works. Something strange in l-r-m build scripts..

I too have this bug; using either the driver from envy-ng, or the hardy driver
(they are afaik the same/close nvidia driver version) I don't get dropshadows
in compiz; another perhaps related thing is in my theme in gutsy, the opacity
of the window title used to fade on a gradient from opaque
I fail to see how it's different from upstream, since the files are the
same.. I have a 8600GT myself, and the shadows are sometimes missing,
and the rest of the time they are pink or yellow (bug 194851).
Achim: do you see the corruption mentioned in bug 191783?

Hi Timo Aaltonen,
I don't see any corruption.
But I have to admit that I haven't tested it with Thunderbird.
I have tested it with Evolution. There are similar situations were the title
immediately changes while I am typing.
I hope this Information helps.
best wishes
