Dear all,
i have ubuntu 11.04 64bit installed on an hp pavilion g7

i'm facing the following issues:

1. On screen saver lock, all notifications are shown on screen
ie: thunderbird,pidgin,tweetdeck notifications are shown even though the screensaver is on and locked.

2. at times, the mouse' left click stops working, though the touchpad works normally. whenever i use the touchpad the mouse(Usb connected) works again.

3. when i minimize a page, and open another it's not rendering properly. in other wrods lets say i had tweetdeck and firefox opened on top. if i minimize firefox,the firefox page still shows and parts of tweetdeck appears only when i hover my mouse over them. the solution to that is to show desktop and then maximizing one of the windows.

note that all was working on 10.4 on the same device.
