Problem still persists in Gutsy 7.10 release. I have a Dell Optiplex GX280 with a VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]. Enabling Extra desktop effects caused UI to lock up after an unspecified amount of time (usually within 10 minutes).
I disabled the animations plugin as suggested in this ticket. Lockups have NOT occurred for over a day.
A confirmed functional workaround seems to be to disable the animations plugin.
