Sluggish Xfce Desktop with nvidia driver

[hannes|l]

Hi,

I've just upgraded to f16 from f15 and I encounter a really sluggish desktop which is pretty slow in responding to clicks and even scrolling. At first I thought the nvidia driver isn't loaded but he is apparently. I don't know where to look for a workaround.

Does this explain it?

Looks quite similar - just testing the patch from there.
Edit:
Yes this patch is a workaround for this issue and I initiated a scratch build on koji:

Of course not official and not perfectly packaged but it works.
