Bug Description
If in nvidia-settings, antialiasing is enabled, compiz has some problems with opacity and shadows (several blinking effects).
Please watch the attached video (mkv-x264), that I made in february to post in nvidia forums :
http://
But no news :(
I open a bug report here to keep trace of this problem.
Maybe something in compiz could avoid it?

I attached the result of lspci -vvnn.

(as enabling benchmaring resolves both vsync and antialiasing problems)

Odd, I only see these black and thickening drop-shadows, when I've the blur-plugin enabled. Otherwise I can use antialiasing with compiz. I'm running a GeForce 8800 GTS on nvidia's binary 177.82 driver.
