Comment 38 for bug 151168

Hi,

I agree with Matt, this problem does not seem to happen with the
nvidia/metacity combination. That doesn't mean that it is definitely a
compiz problem though - the "black windows" problem with earlier nvidia
drivers running out of video memory was only seen with beryl and nvidia.
