Please consider the following:
1. VNC with Compiz enabled worked prior to Jaunty using nvidia-restricted v. 173, v.177, & v. 180 (and apparently with the other graphics drivers listed in the title.)

2. VNC with Compiz enabled DOES NOT work in Jaunty with nvidia-restricted v.173, v.177, v.180 or the other drivers listed above (which previously worked.)

3. The bug doesn't manifest itself without proprietary drivers.

We can draw the conclusion from this that the bug manifests itself with proprietery drivers, but the fault of the sudden change in usability does not lie with the video drivers, right?

If that is the case, can we re-word the title and description of this bug to reflect that the problem (the change in usability) lies with the interaction of Compiz/ Vino and/or X.Org ??

This bug may receive more attention if it didn't look like another problem which could only be fixed by an update in proprietary software.
