Bug Description

Binary package hint: xsplash

When I boot my PC, the boot process isn't as smooth as it should be:
Grub to Uplash (Top left blinking bar)
Usplash to Xsplash(fade, nice)
But in Xsplash, after 4 seconds of bar throbbing, I get a black screen for 0.1 sec and then more xsplash, a couple of seconds later, the top and bottom pannel quickly flash in and then dissapear. A few seconds more and xsplash fades into the desktop.

This is not the desired boot experience :(

(I'm using NVIDIA restricted drivers from jockey-gtk)

Thanks for your bug report. Is this reproducible? ie do you consistently get the same artifacts on screen? or only intermittently?

I get the mentioned artifacts every time I boot.
If needed, I can provide a camera recording of the boot proccess

I have the exact issue as this except the end...

I get no fade from Xsplash to the Desktop... and the loading animation of xsplash is really ugly where it stops intermittently moving.

I am using Intel Graphics x3100 on a dell studio Laptop with a 17" widescreen display.
