Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. May you try to create another user and test if it happens the same?, thanks

[knt406 (kent-sumner)]

i made a new account, and everything works properly... on that account. is there anyway i can fix my other account? thanks

Do you use compiz (desktop effects option)? Does it happen without running it?

[knt406 (kent-sumner)]

with compiz disabled, it runs normally. but i really like the desktop effects and would rather not go w/o them. any help?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

It works well with the other user and desktop effects enabled?, if so you probably can delete your compiz configuration for your user with: rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/compiz and see if that works.

I've seen this too, after installing Picasa (which uses wine).
