Binary package hint: compiz

Similar to bug white screen on second screen, but this is a white screen
on first screen (screen 0).

If I activate compiz (through fusion icon or through desktop effects) the screen goes white.
The computer runs and  there is no crash or dump.

activating the 'cube' desktop switcher works, but it behaves very slowly
and all visible desktops are white. sky background image is shown
correctly.

Work around:
I press ctrl-alt-f2
login to terminal 
issue command 'ps aux | grep compiz'  and get the pid for process compiz-real
isue command 'kill <PID>' where <PID> is determined in step above.

press Ctrl-alt-f7 to return to x-windows

This problem happens on several kernels I have installed:
2.6.30-020630-generic
2.6.28-12-generic
2.6.28-11-generic
kernel 2.6.28-6-386

This is similar to a bug reported by ati graphics card users in older versions of Ubuntu.
So it is probably related to compiz more than any single kernel, ubuntu release, or graphics card.

It might also be a conflict with other installed software. (i will
update ticket If I find an issue)
