Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Environment: this bug is made with "ubuntu-bug" so I assume the relevant versions and packages are attached.
The symptoms are:
- Dragging windows across the screen stutters visibly, intermittently halting for up to half a second. CPU usage is very high at those points, the X (Xorg) Process specifically.
- Restoring a window from its maximized state is similar, the window is reduced to its "normal" size but it takes up to 2-3 seconds for the window itself to redraw and (probably more importantly) for the desktop to redraw or refresh
I've been able to exclude most typical graphics causes such as the nvidia driver or Xorg itself by trying the same in KDE which does not exhibit the problem (same machine, same config).
In fact I can narrow it down specifically to Nautilus: when I go into gconf-editor and set the property "/apps/
