[ubuntu-za] 12.10 a mistake?

[Jan Greeff]

Chris Schoonbe pointed me in the right direction, to go looking for 
broken packages. I found and followed these instructions, everything 
seems fine now, I just had to recustomise my Unity.

Thanks for putting me on track Chris.

Upgrading to 12.10 seems to have been a big mistake.

My screens are now more often than not positioned so I am unable to
access the close, minimise and maximise buttons, I have to go to screen
switcher to drag the screen into a position where I can access the
buttons. Maximising does not help, then the buttons remain off screen
and invisible whatever I do with the mouse.

When wobbly windows is activated in compiz, the screen goes totally
haywire, the screen shape becomes unmanageable and the screens jump
around from one to the other. There is sound disturbance and screensaver
does not activate. (Screensaver was installed correctly)

Running update and upgrade and reboot makes no difference.

I am seriously considering reverting to 12.04, but before I do so, are
there any fixes that may solve these issues?
