For other reasons, I just moved all my ~/.* config files to a backup directory, rebuilt and reinstalled the NVIDIA driver (from NVIDIA's package), and this bug is gone, on my workstation at least.
Both laptop and workstation were upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 (apt-get dist-upgrade) , so perhaps some stale config is the cause? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371590 Title: Global menu bar snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, à la Windows 95 Start button To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1371590/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
