[Ubfan <816062@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I sometimes see a white screen in firefox when running 11.04, but only
with the Unity interface, not the classical.  The "whiteness" is size
dependent, it comes and goes as the screen is resized (showing the
normal web page when not present).  The resizing may be done with the
corner resizer or by moving the window to the left to get a half screen.
This occurred at the fresh install of Natty, and basically made it
unusable for me.  Since the installation is on a 4G usb stick which
moves between machines, driver confusion may be an issue.  The old
laptop has Nvidia chips, but the Natty is not set to use them and Unity
does not run.  The netbook does not have Nvidia.  At some point, the 2D
Unity was installed, and now I cannot seem to select a Unity interface
on the Netbook (which used to run Unity by default).  I do not recall
seeing the problem with the 2D Unity interface
