Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I use 64-bit laptop with geforce 9500m, and I upgraded lately to
maverick.

The system became very sluggish and unresponsive, even after removing
all ubuntu-one related horrors. Compiz animations stutter and window
contents are being drawn slowly. Moreover, there are elements the system
fails to paint correctly with the nvdia driver (probably gradient-
related):

1. Selected menu items and progress bars are brighter then they should
be.

2. The lovely glowing dots below docky icons, which mark which app is
being ran, became ugly grey blobs.

Screenshots are attached with nouveau (correct rendering) and nvidia
(incorrect rendering) on the same system.

I know we cannot fix the nvidia driver mess, but can we please have an
option of downgrading to 195 series? It worked perfectly well in lucid.
