Whenever I open gedit my system locks up and my windows and desktop are drawn incorrectly. I am then forced to go into terminal and kill gedit with htop and reload the window manager, or to shutdown my computer altogether.
However, when I switch my window manager from compiz to metacity it works. It also works properly if I run gedit as root.
Any tips? I'm new to using linux and have no idea whats going on. Its frustrating to have to turn off compiz everytime I want to view a .txt file.
