Trying to update with Synaptic Package Manager.

I was updating with Synaptic.
I was also searching the Web, trying to figure out how to metwork my home computers (Win 7, Win XP, and this Ubuntu Natty 11.04)

Browsers Chrome and Epiphany were open.

Help, Nautilus file browser, and gnome-terminal also open.

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop4-0ubuntu6

---------------
compiz (1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop4-0ubuntu6) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - compiz-gnome replaces compiz-fusion-plugins-extra (grid gconf schema file
      is hosted there) (LP: #708835)
  * debian/patches/029_default_options.patch:
    - set the spacing to 68 temporary as a workaround to avoid the spread mode
      to overlap the launcher (LP: #702822)
