To be fair, it warned me that the feature was experimental, and gave me a chance to turn it off right after selecting it; for better or for worse, though, I didn’t realize immediately that something had gone wrong. (I’m not sure that turning it off would have helped, though, in retrospect.) Basically, turning the effects on collapsed my windows from all my desktops onto a single desktop (which I didn’t worry about, I (correctly) figured that I could move them back manually), but also removed my window manager decorations. (E.g. the bar at the top with the window name, close box, etc.) [...] [...] Following a suggestion from Chris, I gave the desktop effects from Ubuntu 7.04 a try; not the nicest experience.

I have an nvidia card. In the last version, the nv driver kept on crashing, and vesa was incredibly slow, so I ended up using the proprietary driver. :-( I should give nv another shot in the new version, to see if I can get away from proprietary code...

(Providing you have 3D drivers for your graphics card. Intel chips work fine.) - Chris.
