When I updated to 11.10, I thought that any problems would be solved and all graphical glitches would be better. After upgrading, my whole system got borked, and everything looked ugly. I ended up fixing most everything, but for one thing.

The shadows for any application is ugly. It is hard to describe, so I hope the picture helps.

Notice the odd shadows. The shadows are all wierd

They also are common after closing a window or moving it to a different workspace

I know this is a small problem, but it still bugs me. Any fix for it?

I thik it's the 'Blur' effect in CompizConfig Settings Manager. A few days ago I tried to add blur to my transparent Menus and ended up in having this nice shadows (that reflect your Desktop but mirrored vertically). Try disabling the 'Blur' effect and see if the shadows disappear.

Oh boy. I'm sure there's a way to disable shadows somewhere, if I find out how I'll let you know. For a temporary fix, when you are logging in, click the cog icon next to your name and select Ubuntu 2D.
