I booted from the live CD. Compiz was installed by default. I de-installed compiz using symantic. The problem still happened.
Here are the details of my graphics card:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lspci -v -s 02:00.0
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 12
Memory at ec000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at ed000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0
It is a 4 or 5 year-old low-spec 3d card, but runs compiz graphics eye-candy in Gutsy (just). The card has a maximum memory of 64Mb. I am not sure how much is actually in the card though.
