[Bug 335869] Re: crash (can't draw desktop) if desktop effects are enabled

[ulrich]

looks like i found the real bug. 
it's neither compiz nor nautilus, the binary nvidia driver is the bad guy in this case!

the nvidia driver was computing false DPI (75 x 75) for my monitor.
solution:
using nv as driver and starting x.

xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot 
  dimensions:    1600x1200 pixels (363x272 millimeters)
  resolution:    112x112 dots per inch

modifying xorg.conf so that it reads
    Option         "UseEdidDpi" "False"
    Option	   "DPI" "112 x 112"

compiz/nautilus works (since 2 hours so far...).
