Ubuntu Compiz

Are you suffering from video and misc applications flickering? Apparently Compiz interferes with applications drawing to the screen. To work around you need to change your video render to X. To fix you need to disable Compiz.

Thanks Ubuntu community.

Pidgin has useless plugins

dcop: not found shown in terminal while pidgin locks up? Kill your audio player process. If it still occurs open audio player, open pidgin and disable musictracker.

Thanks musictracker.
