I do have an ATI card. I'll try turning off desktop effects. Removing glx-utils removes all of compiz!

Note that in the above example of a stable system, item 3. I have had about equal numbers of people tell me that the vendor driver is vastly more stable than the built-in driver, and totally the opposite.

Oh, and some fundamentalist open source fanatics who tell me it's better to crash a few times a day than use a closed source driver. ;-)

The only "desktop effect" of interest to me is stability.
