Please test this both with display effects turned on and off. I'm wondering if it is rather a window manager issue.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Hi Bryce, I can confirm this issue and I can see it both with compiz and metacity. Hope this answers your question, let me know if you have any other questions.

I also have an intel video card btw.

[This is an automatic notification.]

Thanks for reporting this bug to help making the Intel graphics driver
better. We hear from upstream that a number of bugs (possibly including
this one) have been fixed in the newer DRM code from the 2.6.33 kernel.
I don't know if your bug is one of the ones fixed in this release,
though, but we've prepared a PPA with this DRM update. Would you mind
installing this, rebooting, and testing if the original issue can be
reproduced with it or not?

The DRM PPA is here:

    https://edge.launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/red

Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using
the command 'ubuntu-bug linux' (for kernel or DRM or KMS bugs) or
'ubuntu-bug xorg' if you suspect them to be X.org issues.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

I just tested the ppa and it's not completely fixed in there but I noticed the following:

there are no lines on the edge of the screen when I boot. But they appear each time I change to a new gtk theme.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Correction: "when I boot" means after boot of course, not during boot. So the first Desktop I see is OK, but then the lines come back when I switch gtk theme.

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

This was actually a nautilus issue. I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of the (fixed) Nautilus bug.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Chris, you marked them as duplicates of one another. That's funny. Where is the nautilus bug?

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Gah. Duping to the right bug.
