dell inspiron 8500 laptop w/ Radeon video card, wide-screen. I'm using Gnome and pretty much default install. After enabling the Desktop Effects (wobbling and 3d desktop) my screen goes into 4:3 aspect ratio mode, there is nothing drawn on the right side, and after logout/login i have no menus whatsoever in the bottom and top bar left. So can't do a thing.
let me add another horror thing i then discovered: in this Desktop Effects mode, you cannot left-click items from the menus and drag them to a panel for quick launch. Once this mode has been active during a session, this is broken. Even after disabling as long as one is logged in. I had to logout and come back to be able to drag and drop menu items on the panel... Either it is something specific about my wide-screen / radeon card, or this is seriously broken. - peter
