Just a quick remark about the Nvidia/non Nvidia bug issue. Smspillaz,
before leaving the compiz project, has written a long post about dealing
with proprietary graphic drivers (meaning NVIDIA).

He mentionned this bug in it.  Here is what he wrote : " In addition to
that, we’re fighting lots of strange quirks where texture binding is
randomly failing."

drivers/

So the compiz guys are aware of the bug. And they consider it Nvidia
related. But the main point of his post was to say he didn't like to
write hack to solve that kind of problem.

Anyway, either they don't work hard enough on it, or it's just not
solvable, they haven't found that hack. And one of the basic
functionnalities of unity is not working properly on lots of computer,
as Nvidia drivers are pervasive.
