Kubuntu Lucid64 (re)install.  Is xorg the problem?  Running cairo-dock and
Compiz on Gnome (KDE person normally but am trying to like Gnome, but still
not sure), desktop effects are not the end of the world, but I do need
compositing to run my docks or I get a huge ugly black rectangles on my
desktop.  Am not running cairo-dock in opengl mode due to horrible screen
artifacts.

Just got my machine how I like it so really do not want to reinstall!

Cheers
Steve
