installed arch , gnome 3 on separate partition, , still experience same conditions font artifacts on arch. therefore it's not ubuntu or arch issue, rather gnome 3 , suspect video card. i'm using nouveau driver.

perhaps remove sound applet panel, , happy deviantart theme.

advice/thoughts/ideas/suggestions... appreciated.

i have same problem. +my panel full whit artifacts.

ubuntu 11.10
