** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: unity
  
  Simply login into a Natty "Ubuntu" session (Thus Compiz with Unity
  plugin) and launch a KDE app. Upon loading or doing some activity in the
  KDE app the interface will appear to hang but the mouse continues to
  work. It is not a hard lock as I can jump to a terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) or
  restart the Xorg server with alt+SysRq+k. Switching back from a terminal
  to the graphic session sometimes leaves the appearance of the terminal
  on the screen but the mouse pointer is there and still works and appears
  to be a painting update issue with the desktop.
  
  Note not all KDE apps will cause the interface hang. Kate seems to work just 
fine. Apps that cause the issue every time are:
  * KDevelop. As soon as KDevelop begins to load (shows the splash screen) the 
desktop interface will hang.
  * Krita. The Template selection/Recent document screen works just fine but as 
soon as you try to load a template or actual krita document the interface will 
hang. Some times when the interface has stalled (It still shows the template 
selection screen and any window that was showng at the time) if I move the 
cursor around it changes to Krita's paint brush cursor and back to the normal 
pointer in other areas as if the Krita window was actually there.
+ * Kpresenter. Exhibits the same behavior as Krita
+ * Karbon.
+ 
+ These KDE apps have so far not had the problem:
+ * Kword
+ * Kplato
+ * Kompare
+ * Ktouch
+ * Kspread
+ * Konqueror 
  
  When the interface stalls I've tried pressing alt-f2 and typing
  "metacity --replace" in order to restart a window manager but this does
  not work. It has in the past (previous ubuntu releases) when I have
  experienced similar issues with compiz not updating the screen.
  
  These KDE apps work just fine if I login with the "Ubuntu classic
  desktop" (Compiz enabled, Unity plug-in disabled) session. The whole
  session seems quite stable. Also works fine in a KDE Plasma desktop
  session.
  
  I've tried different combinations of Compiz plugins but the interface
  stalls every time with those KDE apps no matter what compiz plugins I
  have enabled.
  
  I will update the report with a few more KDE apps that cause the same
  problem.
  
  If you need me to run some more tests, or can tell me how I can capture
  some more debugging information (or where to read up on it), I'll try to
  do so.
  
  This is on an Intel Core2 duo laptop with x3100 gpu, 32bit Ubuntu Natty
  install with PAE kernel. I have another system, AMD Phenom, Nvidia 460
  GPU with Natty 64bit installed that runs the same KDE apps in Unity just
  fine. When I get the chance, I have another system with Natty 32 bit
  installed (Athlon Xp, Nvidia GPU) that I will test to see if it is a
  general 32bit issue or maybe more of a Intel GPU specific issue.
  
  Thanks
  
  Adam
