Comment 314 for bug 99508

This bug is already very large, and the problem has been fixed for most people. It's possible that your Hardy issue is not the same as this bug, since nobody else has reported seeing it anymore. If you open a new bug for your issue, it would be much appreciated.

Please understand that the nature of proprietary binary drivers does not allow us to simply apply a patch to the driver. The real solution to this bug is to use >=180, or <169. This is already possible in Hardy by using the nvidia-glx package, however as mentioned already, a workaround patch was applied to human-theme to stop Compiz triggering the issue.

Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates to understand that we only fix high-impact bugs in the stable releases with small, unobtrusive patches. This bug is a cosmetic issue that has workarounds and is no longer widely reported on Hardy.

180 is present in Intrepid and Jaunty.
