Hi all,

Three lucid install, three different situations. The only one that seemed to be a problem was on an old Gateway 450ROG laptop (6 years old). All windows that open in GNOME leave behind faint and persistent outlines long after they are closed. These outlines are not functional and are quite faint. The panels also have a pattern of small dots all over them.

Strange, eh?

Any thoughts? Is the screen dying or is this a fixable issue. I didn't notice the problem until the install. Karmic was working fine.

I am probably best considered an "enlightened idiot" in Linux-land. If you need me to give you information, kindly tell me how to go about getting it from the system for you.

Thanks for any help.
