Bug Description

I start using Unity 2D on oneiric and very often the Unity 2d launcher is 100% opaque.

I have attached a screenshot.

The launcher is not visible, but I can right click on it and I can also launch items from the laucher.

It looks like the launcher and the panel goes opaque in the same time.

Please see attached screenshot.

Could you please try disabling compositing, using this command: `gconftool-2 --set --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager false` and then re-login?

The changes were applied instantly and everything looks much better now. Re-login was not required.

I think that compositing was the cause of this problem.

I will report if the problem reappears.

EOL have been reached, so no more maintenance. If that issue still exist, then report again using ubuntu-bug.
