Flickering screen on 12.10 when wobbly windows activates

Asked by Jan Greeff

After my recent upgrade from Ububtu 12.04 to 12.10, my screen flickers so radically that I am almost unable to get to a button to click when I activate wobbly windows via compiz. When ww is deactivated, viewing is normal.

I did a package repair via http://www.ossdoc.com/2012/10/how-to-repair-broken-software-package.html but this did not solve the problem.

I suggest you report a bug

How would repairing broken packages help in fixing a graphical glitch?

There was also a problem with buttons not showing which was solved via repaired packages, I merely mentioned it in case it could help to localise the problem.

The flickering does not start immediately on activation of wobbly windows but seems to kick in gradually after a while and then becomes acute after a short while.

When I login as a guest and activate ww, it seems to work fine but I did not stay there for very long.

Can you help with this problem?
