Like a number of other users, I'm getting some variant of graphical
slowdown after using my desktop PC for a random amount of time - between
minutes and hours. I suspect the problem lies with compiz, OpenGL or
graphics card drivers (NVidia in my case) as I have seen this behaviour
with both Linux Mint 11 and 12 in the past, on the same PC. I don't
believe there to be a hardware problem as this machine works perfectly
fine running high-end games under Windows.

Restarting or logging out and in often temporarily resolves the issue...
but it eventually returns.
