Bug Description
I run ubuntu 11.04 latest (unity) on my desktop and i have a windows laptop. I usually have all my development configuration on ubuntu, so i connect a lot to ubuntu using vnc (so ubuntu runs the vino server) and i use ultra vnc to connect.
I have observed a lot of issues with refreshing of the screen. The problem exists even when i change vnc client.
Symtoms
1. Whenever a window is closed, usually the window stays .. till i make that square on desktop (mouse press and move ..), that clears the window.
2. Whenever a new window has to be launched, sometimes i dont see the window, i have to do couple of window changes .. to see it.
3. Whenever a context senstive menu has to be seen, i have to right click and then move my mouse in that area so that slowly i see each of the menu item.
When i log into as (ubuntu classic with no effects) - then everything seems to be fine .. all refreshes happen fine. So this is most likely an issue with compiz, but i am not sure. For now unity is practically unusable over vnc.
Ah .. ignore this .. basically i fixed it by
1. CCSM
2. Workarounds
3. Checking the box : Fix screen updates in XGL with fglrx and thats it .
Now seems to be fine ...
This bug can be closed ...
Thanks
