Comment 5 for bug 692677

A bit of a change -
Thru a fully updated natty as of 6:30 pm (east coast usa), it now works in a Classic login to gnome-panel/compiz enabled

On the other hand a Desktop login to unity - when trying to click on the X Server Display Confirmation menu it hangs and then crashes both nvidia-settings and most likely compiz (window decorations disappear, ect.

(it may be possible (?) that this current compiz/unity bug has creates issues beyond the obvious.

(wish I could figure out the deal with those nice little blue links
Am attaching .xsession-errors (old) from crash

I think I'll try a fresh, updated iso and install, see if it's any different

Finally - unless I'm missing something blatantly obvious or somewhat obscure I see absolutely no difference between a patched and unpatched nvidia-settings
