 Thanks for helping me naming the details of Ubuntu.
It's standard Wine 0.92..1.1.0 in standard Ubuntu 8.04 with up to latest
updates.
So, if you speak of System|Preferences|Appearance|Visual Effects, the
answer is "None".

Generally speaking, I hate turning a system appearance into a multimedia
show.
And as the systems I'm configuring right now have partially supported
Year 2000 limited video acceleration, I have every reason to avoid
screen overload.
I welcome any method to limit screen overload.
In Xubuntu, there's a tweaking configuration where I had limited a
window to a frame when moved, etc...
