I am not on that computer, but came here looking for solace that I am not crazy... that I did not jack my system. I am running a 7600GS and I am seeing the following problems:

  - Window title bars not fully skinning, then when I move the mouse over the controls (Min, Max, Close) it instantly re-renders properly. Sometimes the title bars do not show at all.

  - Firefox opens with no window decorations at all and full screen (almost kiosk mode except it still has the launch and address bars). Pressing F11 twice forces it to render correctly.

  - AWN (ppa version), OMG what a mess! I get this odd white box over the desktop switcher, the icons do not always render correctly, and every so often, I get the scrambled box. All the issues disappear by moving the mouse over the affected area except the white box. The white box does go behind the switcher, and in front of maximized programs obscuring the status bar at the bottom of many programs (i.e. the Firefox loading bar is 1/2 obscured).

This problem does not disappear with 173. Both 177 and 173 seem equally bad, but I did not do any type of actual testing to compare the two, this is just my empirical experience.
