Comment 3 for bug 157304

I've gone into preference>appearances and changed visual effects to none.
I've been able to play these before in Gutsy. I just tried a video in VLC and if I open VLC and then File>open, the video loads and I can use keyboard commands but it is unresponsive to mouse clicks and when trying to close the program, it goes unresponsive and fades to black.
Will not play flvs in Firefox either (tried on youtube)
