Comment 2 for bug 683356

I'm also testing the Alpha1 i386 iso and the desktop is now totally unusable for me unless I create a launcher for gnome-terminal and work from there. The 11/29 daily would still default to "no effects" and at least be usable, now it is not!

My hardware:

Intel Atom 230 CPU @ 1.60GHz
System Memory 2GB DIMM
Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics
Intel N10/ICH 7 Family High Def Audio Controller

I've noticed for some time that desktop effects default to "none" testing natty whereas it normally defaults to "normal".
