Description timmyfartpants 2013-01-25 18:22:32 UTC
When I enable some effects like wobbly windows and desktop cube, my desktop will become so slow it is unusable. I also notice a lot more transparencies.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into System Settings
2. Click on Desktop Effects
3. Go to all effects tab
4. Enable Wobbly Windows and Desktop Cube
Actual Results:  
The desktop bogs down to an unusable state. It can only be fixed by setting the renderer from OpenGL to XRenderer.

Expected Results:  
The desktop should remain snappy and responsive, only Wobbly Windows and Desktop Cube should be enabled.

This is on Fedora 18 Spherical Cow. I have had the same issue with Fedora 17.
