* this bug actually can't be reproduced every time I plug in an external monitor. It's hard to tell if there's an underlying logic.
+ * FIXED in precise or maybe in quantal
- # oneiric regression: Sometimes when I switch on the DisplayPort output the sound also switches to it, but not consistently.
+ # It looks like the HDMI audio output remains selected even when the output gets unplugged. As a result, the laptop does not play sound any more.
+ You can fix the problem by going to Sound Settings and click once on the internal audio output (which is the only output).

# oneiric regression: We've lost the workspace previews in the panel. There's indicator-workspaces on Launchpad ([[https://launchpad.net/~geod/+archive/ppa-geod]]), but it only shows the current desktop number.

+ # Displays: sometimes clicking on the second monitor does not select it. After fiddling with it long enough (dragging, clicking, etc) eventually it gets selected.
=== Window management ===
- # Dragging windows around becomes slow and jerky after some time. OpenGL acceleration works fine, it seems like a compiz issue with the intel driver. I can easily reprodiuce this on a Thinkpad X201 (Arrandale), but it's a lot harder to trigger on a X220 (Sandybridge).

* [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/773861]]: Moving windows is very laggy with Compiz
* [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/803943]]: compiz consuming a lot of cpu

* [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/891744]]: Dragging windows stutter during and after grid animation
+ * Improved in Precise, but there's still high cpu usage in some cases (see bugs)

=== Session management ===
- # confirmed on precise: There's no longer a way to save the X session? Before it was working only for some applications, but it was still a big time saver after a reboot.

=== Hardware support ===
- # oneiric regression: When I connect a monitor to the DisplayPort output, sometimes the sound output also switches to it (but sometimes it doesn't, I couldn't figure out why). The sound output setting is buried deep into Control Panel / Sound Settings / Hardware / Profile, so it took me a while to figure out what had happened the first time.

=== Upgrade issues ===

# My home is dm-crypt encrypted, alghough not with luks. After upgrading to Oneiric, it was no longer being mounted because mount thought it was of type minixfs. WTF?? To fix this, I had to pass '-n nominix' to blkid in /lib/cryptsetup/checks/un_blkid. This filtering was present in an earlier version of cryptsetup, but it has been removed in 2:1.1.3-1.
