that is good solution ...but here with me , if I disable desktop effects 
my firefox and all video players ( vlc, banshee, rhythmbox)   goes mad 
... firefox cannot handle the flash video and all video players cannot 
play video file ... say if I go to www.youtube.com ( after disabling the 
desktop effects ) and try to watch the video ... video gates scramble 
...dots and linings only ..... if I play any video files with any above 
said video players they cannot play the video file again garbage video 
......   if I re-enable the desktop effects forefox and all the players  
runs fine without any
problem. I 've already posted this problem before sometime on this list 
but didn't get the solution :-(
