I should know better to leave well enough alone: HOWEVER. old habits (as
a beta tester) are hard to break.

... as a test, I reverted to "netbook" and got the following error:

/begin quote

An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for
netbook-launcher. Some of your configuration settings may not work
properly.

Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that
you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for
information. (Details -  1: Could not send message to gconf daemon:
Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus))

/end quote

/REM I wonder if this might relate to processor speed, since the intial
reporte of this bug is using an Asus 900, whereas my machine is the
newer Asus 1000. Hyperthreading is turned on by default in the BIOS.

When I booted back, the netbook interface was available, WITH the
classic was also visible in the background. I easily reverted to the
classic look. Now, though the 'compiz' toolbar which looks like the OS/X
toolbar is now on the desktop behind the bottom launcher.

However, none of the icons in the 'compiz' toolbar work.

... taking my *own* advice: if it works, don't fsck with it!  L0)
