[Bug 511344] [NEW] meta - Gnome functionality decreases/fails

[pointydrip]

Public bug reported:

Window functionality decreases on a regular basis usually 5-30 minutes
after boot.

Some of the following are symptoms I have experienced:
- It takes 2 or more clicks on one click buttons
- Different mouse graphics fail (Ex.: holding cursor over window borders), but the action can still be performed
- Ubuntu based windows respond slowly, such as GUi's from preferences and adding an item to the panel

File Browsing:
- Mouse scrolling works, but does not work once I've opened collapsible subdirectory
- Clicking on a collapsible subdirectory does not always work right away

In less frequent instances:
- Workspace switching does not work
- Gnome fails all together (Nothing responds to mouse clicks)

Indicators:
- I have done a clean install of Karmic twice and the issue was there each time
- It work flawlessly in 9.04
- When I first boot everything works fine w/apps that I have running all the time
it usually takes some time for the problem to develop
- Non-ubuntu GUI's are un-affected (ardour, jackd, gkrellm, cheese)
- I don't know what ubuntu-bug reveals to everyone (first time bug reporter),
but here are some relevant specs:

-intel i7 920
- 64-bit ubuntu
-12gb ram (I have not yet touched the ram configuration so It's probably only utilizing 4gb)
- nVidia GTX 280 with seperate x-screens

I will test the system out with different settings such as the visual effects levels,
it may take some time as I don't notice the bug when working in non-gnome GUI's.


Anything else that will help?
