Well, I've tried this set of packages.

At first look, I thought that they solved the problem:

* I've used Compiz effects without problem
* I played OpenArena during 5 minutes (in medium configuration) without problem

BUT...

* When I've opened Blender, it froze instantly.
* When I was writing a message here about this behaviour, the system froze again (exactly when a Firefox's tooltip appeared).

If I remember correctly, the same used to happen in Jaunty. We know that the biggest problem is in version 7.6 of the Mesa. But version 7.5 also brings problems (though smaller).

I still think that the problem has something to do with transparency effects (mainly because of the problem of the tooltip).

In short, the problem persists. At least in my case.
