Comment 18 for bug 388547

This is still a bug in 12.04 and it will presumably remain an issue for the foreseeable future. Has there been any indication about a potential fix for this, or is this an architectural issue? Will this potentially be solved by Wayland?

I would think that the rise of gaming on the Linux desktop (through the Ubuntu Software Center, the Humble Indie Bundles, and the coming launch of Steam for Ubuntu) would make this a bigger issue in the near future.
