Hi,

When I quickly tested Hardy Alpha 5 with the Live CD (testing something  
unrelated), I noticed this too. Especially that the menus are not  
clickable at the top edge, that was most disturbing. Do not remember about  
the other things. Everything worked normally with Desktop Effects off.

Is there a bug report about it? If not, I suggest that you create one.

cheers,
Janne
