Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

A few days ago, after a software upgrade, my system reported that it
couldn't run Unity and fell back to GL-less Classic.

(If I killall metacity and run compiz, it runs fine, and Unity starts up
with many weird problems, but the graphics performance is great.)

I don't know which package upgrade caused the problem.

One possibly related problem is that I'm not using the "current" version
of the nVidia driver that the "Additional Drivers" panel recommends, I'm
using "173".  I have no idea what the difference is, but when I upgraded
to 11.04, I had big X problems, and switching to version "173" made them
go away.  Basically, X was oddly unusable with the "current" driver.  I
can open windows, but not click on anything.

This is a regression, because things worked nicely under 10.10.  Compiz
ran with "Classic" quite wonderfully,  Now, I can't figure out how to
get compiz to run at all without killing things and starting them by
hand.
