Nick HS’s solution using
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2

worked for me.

I was just about to ditch docky until I found that.

I had the same deadly slow problem with Avant Window Navigator too, but your guide fixed it. Thanks.

Actually the kernel update plus the 180 modaliases update borked all of my sound. It removes the 173 and 177 drivers and is listed as a bug. I’m supposed to be using the intel8x0 module, but it cannot be properly installed under Intrepid at this moment.

I had been looking for that, but I couldn’t find the .desktop icons to modify them, or anyway to make them look better for just the 4-5 apps I need.

@Sergio: that’s probably because of the poor quality of the .desktop icons provided with the packages. I don’t experience your same problem, though, on my pc such icons suck in both themes of gnome-do .

Hey thanks I got it working real fast, I know this isn’t what you’re explaining but the icons in Gnome Do are badly pixelated, the third party apps icons, because with Gnome-Colors there’s no problem but I use Google Earth, Netbeans, FrostWire, etc., and they’re pixelated even tho when you look for them in the classic Gnome Do they show nice and neat, but when you open the app the dock puts them ugly.

@Sergio: System->Administration->Software Sources, find the Update tab, and make sure proposed and backports are checked.

I dont know how to:
enable the proposed and backports repositories.

I probably have it already but i don’t know exaclty what you want me to do there or more exaclty how.
