I'm no longer sure which bug-report this is.But,I did manage to fix
several issues with the Unity-Desktop via 'Compiz-Manager'.Look this
up in Ubuntu-Software.It seems to have good reviews,overall.For those
of you whose command-line skills are not that good,like mine; it
solved the Unity troubles,by deselecting this feature of 11.04
automatically! (Note: had previously selected "Ubuntu-Classic",at
bottom of screen,upon login.)Even this didn't seem to completely solve
problems with 11.04,though.It was only on install of Compiz-Manger
utillity,that 11.04 seemed to work smoothly again.
(It offers a graphical-interface for those who aren't very familar
with Terminal-commands or problem-solving via that route.Beyond that,I
know nothing;just that it worked for me.)You can also do an online
search: Fix Ubuntu 11.04.(Also did that.Helped in leading me to this
possible solution. John.
