Bug Description

Some weeks ago I have installed UNR 9.04 on my Acer Aspire one D150. Congratulations for the developers. UNR 9.04 is the best OS I have ever used. I will alway be a UNR-user. There is no better way to have fun while just working with my computer.

Before the installation of UNR I have been working with Ubuntu 9.04 with the common Gnome-desktop on the said computer. I had chosen Dark Room as my favorite color scheme. And I enabled the „Extra“ level of visual effects. These effects have been working without problems.

While I was enabling the same visual effects for UNR the following troubles appeared: When I clicked an icon on the launcher, the window of the chosen application is opened just for parts of a second. Thereafter the window is iconified automatically. When I click on the icon the window appears just for some seconds before it is automatically iconified ones again. The same troubles happen with “Normal” visual effects. Only the configuration without visual effects is able to display windows in a stable manner.

I have tried to apply “Extra” visual effects on another Acer Aspire One D150 and this produced the same results: Normal and Extra visual effects are not able to display window in a stable manner.

Additionally the status bar on top of the desktop disappears when normal or extra visual effects are enabled.
