Hi
I've got a problem with my arch 64 setup of which I am unsure as to the cause but wonder if it is linked to Xorg or the nvidia driver.
I have openbox installed with lxpanel.
The symptoms are:
1. When I boot up I lxpanel appears and disappears but is still there and only shows if I click on the different parts of it.
2. If I open K3b, Kile or TeXmaker (LaTeX editors) and use them, I often lose lxpanel and the screen does not seem to be able to refresh properly. Sometimes everything eventually refresh as shows conky again and my desktop wallpaper again but I have to run lxpanel again.
3. Sometimes everything that is open just slides down the screen and disappears. If I change to another desktop and back again then the screen comes back.
My Xorg.conf file is:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Thu Feb 5 00:09:30 PST 2009
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

This is really annoying at the moment as it is the only things stopping me from using arch for doing presentations.
Any help is much appreciated,
Cheers
P.S. Machine specs are on my signature.

Well, it looks like I have solved my own problem.
It appears that the problem was with xcompmgr. When I stopped it loading all the problems I was having also stopped.
Hope that helps somebody else
