When I minimize an app it minimizes to the lower-right corner of the
screen. What I get is a set of a half-dozen or a dozen window redraws,
each getting smaller and leading towards that corner. Completely pauses
everything while it does it, too. Doesn't matter if it's a fullscreen
window or not, it still does it. I've turned off everything I can see in
the preferences that could affect the screen, but nothing changes...
It's almost like it's trying to be 3d-accelerated and the video card
can't handle it...
