I'm using panels at both edges. Pager and Taskmanager at the top edge,
K menu, system tray etc. at the bottom.

Ah, yes, I'm using an older version (180.44-2) of the nvidia driver and
kernel 2.6.29. When I last tried, a few months ago, more recent
combinations of driver and kernel resulted in "drop outs", very short
flickering to a black screen. I'll have to try the current kernel with
current driver.
