Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu Lucid Alpha, When switching to "Normal" visual effects, the
desktop is shown upside down.  I found the following 2-day old thread
discussing this problem here:

http://www.mail-
archive.com/ubuntu-x-swat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg48053.html

As suggested in the thread, I removed all video drivers, and compiz with
the "Remove completely" option in Synaptic.  I then rebooted, and used a
repair login to install xserver-xorg-video-ati, and compiz.  While this
works for other users, with other graphics drivers, it does not work for
me.  This may be an ATI graphics bug.

Another clue may be that ubuntu-bug insists on reporting this as an
nvidia bug, when I don't even have the nv or nouveau drivers installed!
