Can't wait to try this out.

It worked like a charm. The windows are very nice.

Negatives:

  • Breaks Twinview dualscreen with Nvidia (it merges all monitors into one long picture)
  • Remote Desktop window doesn't play well with compriz (Need to change to use the default color depth)

I rebooted and found that the Lock Screen and screensaver worked again.

Cool video demonstration. I'm hooked :)

Ubuntu Evolution Exchange Connector

I used to have problems with the contact information using Ubuntu Breezy and Dapper with the Exchange connector.  The big trick, if you have more than one domain controller, your administrators may have put the Global Catalog Server on the backup/ non-primary server.  Both domain controllers will show your personal address book but only one of them contained the global catalog for me
