This is unusable here. After the last round of updates and a restart, when hovering a gtk app (like xchat or gwibber), the cursor starts to flicker like hell and the cpu sky rockets (Xorg, metacity and the given app).

Also, on non-gtk apps (like a regular xterm), the cursor completely disappears, which is bad for me as i'm using my w-m in follow focus mode. i.e. i *need* to see where the cursor is to see where i type.

for both these reasons, i have to kill (or uninstall) unclutter

my w-m setup:
===
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /apps/metacity/general/auto_raise false
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /apps/metacity/general/raise_on_click false
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode sloppy
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /apps/metacity/general/focus_new_windows smart
===

this with metacity and nvidia-current.
