I Can confirm that is a problem in Karmic final release.
This only occurs with certain applications (epiphany, grsync, pidgin to
name a few). I am also going to attribute this error with a complete
loss of system stability. Whenever any of these programs are running the
mouse slows down, mouse clicks work intermittently, and after of period
of hours (2 to 24) the system will sieze absolutely.
I have to use flgrx as the ati/radeon drivers will not let me control
which screen I want the menu panels.
Here are some useful outputs:
