Comment 3 for bug 781578

Thanks for the tip, but that didn't work too well for me. I have an old notebook Umax with VIA chipset and UniChrome PRO grafics so I can forget about all the cool stuff with compiz. I always turn the effects off (in previous versions in Appearance pref) and it runs smoothly without any major glitches. So if it can't be fixed I will go back to Mint 10.
But back to the problem. When I press Fusion icon the screen goes black and I am forced to login again - I don't know if it is a bug or just my feature ;-)... I switched to Metacity through Ubuntu tweak app, but it is even worse because to open mintmenu I have to press the button about three times, it slows my workflow considerably and for example playing video is like slow motion and/or my NB freezes completely. IMO inconsistent gnome panel is lesser evil.
