Comment 79 for bug 876198

I don't have the time (nor the knowledge/skills, though if I had even more time, I could probably fix that...) to fork Ubuntu - or even to try to fix Compiz at this stage.

My laptop (my primary machine) has just broken again (due to flawed power socket design), so I may well end up doing a clean setup on a new machine soon. If I do, in lieu of a better option, I might have to try the above solution from sterios - Lucid with Oneiric's kernel (thanks for linking to that PPA - if it applies cleanly and doesn't break anything, that's about a million times better than the reports I'd seen of trying to use 3.x on earlier 'buntus).
