[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 778083] Re: Switching workspaces does not always redraw everything necessary

Hi Dave, I agree with you that it has been very quiet in this bug report lately, even though the problem still exists and must be affecting more people than those who have found this bug report. Anyway, a temporary solution, as stated in #15 and #16, is to copy an older Ubuntu's metacity and run

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 778083] Re: Switching workspaces does not always redraw everything necessary

I've more or less confirmed that metacity is at fault: I've copied /usr/bin/metacity from a Lucid machine to /tmp and ran /tmp/metacity --replace. This causes the Lucid version of metacity to take over. I've not had any corruption with that version (it's a miracle that it works with Natty's

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 274512] Re: Agiler usb mouse not working on laptops
