I still have the problem on Lucid, even on a system which has Intel GMA and does not have fglrx-installer installed.

The apport-collect command fails:
$ sudo apport-collect 464031

  response = self.w('dialog_bugreport').run()

One simple illustration of at least one aspect of the problem is to use alt-f2 to take a screen shot of a terminal window. According to the setting for System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual effects, you get an image that includes the frame if 'None' is selected and an image that does not include the frame is either 'Normal" or "Extra" is selected.

$ identify shot-none.png shot-normal.png shot-extra.png

I've attached the three screen shots as alt-print-screen-shots.zip. Please advise how to overcom the apport-collect bug so I can get the other information you need.
