Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

I am using an intel chipset on this machine and won't have a chance to check nvidia until later, but the problem can be summed up as the "Logout" desktop effect blacking out the background rather than showing the dialogue box with the background applications, etc. behind it.

In the mean time I have just disabled it, since the logout dialogue appears correct in that case.

I have attached a screen shot.

My nvidia machine works prpperly so this appears to be specific to intel chips, and might be more specific to a particular set of chips.

The KDE fix should have been sufficient to fix this issue, and the problem was in mesa not xserver-xorg-video-intel. Please reopen the bug if the problem still exists in a current lucid environment.
