Comment 21 for bug 147943

I just downloaded lots of compiz updates via Update Manager about 30 minutes ago. So far there is no change in this bug...to see the bottom panel, I have to click the desktop after boot. Also no change in the flickering screen, which flickers at random intervals at the location of my desktop Conky. However, this flicker has nothing to do with the Conky refresh bug, it doesn't flicker at regular intervals (and it didn't do this a few days earlier...that's why I think it's a Compiz bug). This is a PC, 7.10-Beta1 with Gnome desktop, using an ATI Radeon 9600XT video card running the default Ubuntu driver and Compiz in the CUSTOM mode. The xorg.conf device section has "ati"...not "fglrx". If I set the Visual Effects to NONE....there is no problem with the panel and the flicker also goes away. I should mention that I'm using Emerald with Compiz when Visual Effects are enabled.
