Ugh, this doesn't give a hint, then. Do you have fancy effects enabled
for the virtual desktop switching? If yes, can you try disabling it or
the compositor altogether to see if the problem goes away? I don't
really remember how to do that, so you'd have to search for these
settings in System Settings yourself.
