Christopher, 
I went to  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux/  and followed the 
link <show build> which brought me to 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux/+builds. There I found "i386 
build of linux 3.11.0-8.15 in ubuntu saucy" on September 20th should be the 
one, which was working for me.  I got the packages from 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.11.0-8.15 (4 packages, 2 headers, 
image, image-extra) and installed them. After booting this kernel

hp@hp:~$ uname -a
Linux hp 3.11.0-8-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 20 04:11:16 UTC 2013 i686 
athlon i686 GNU/Linux
hp@hp:~$ 

desktop effects were not available still.

This leads to two questions:
1)   Was the 3.11.0-8.15 kernel included in the saucy upgrade distribution 
package when I upgraded to saucy on Sep.25?
      If not, how can I find  out which one was included? I could also try the 
previous and the next kernel to that one.
2) What makes us believe the problem lies in the kernel and e.g. not in the X 
server area?

regards,
Hans-Peter
