Comment 22 for bug 153995

It really does seem to be a compiz problem in intrepid; I had it on a Toshiba laptop with an ATI video chip. On an old Compaq presario with an nvidia geforce 440 and the unaccelerated "nv" driver I didn't have the bug. As soon as the binary nvidia driver turned up, with compiz appearance "normal", the bug. Note that an alternative workaround to turning off compiz is to use "rdesktop -g99% ...". You'll have aslightly nasty gray unused "L" border (bottom+right) to your rdesktop session, but you can switch between full screen and windowed mode with Ctrl-Alt-Enter as you could in hardy.
