Major Display problems

[Keith Clark]

Yeah, this could be.  I tried running it remotely on a laptop over the net via ssh -X and had no problems at all.  That machine was running Compiz as well but had no issues.

I might just wait until 8.04 to investigate further.

I use Ubuntu 7.10 and have not seen this, HOWEVER I run it on ancient
hardware without any effects. I also usually run gnucash from a
separate system via ssh -X (poor man's multiple monitors).

I do use the nvidia restricted driver because its screen refreshes are
noticeably smoother. If you are running a restricted video driver (OR
if one is available and you aren't) it might be worth experimenting to
see if changing it affects what you see. (If the problem is in the
restricted driver in 7.10, for instance, you may again see the problem
once you actually upgrade to 8.04).
