When that happens, compiz was unable to load the plugin you tried to activate. In your specific case ... > compiz-0.8.6-46.1 > compiz-branding-openSUSE-0.8.6-46.1 > compizconfig-settings-manager-0.8.4-3.2 > compiz-emerald-0.8.2-2.2 > compiz-emerald-themes-0.6.0-16.1 > compiz-gnome-0.8.6-46.1 > compiz-kde-0.8.6-46.1 > compiz-plugins-extra-0.8.6-5.2 > compiz-plugins-main-0.8.2-100.1 > compiz-plugins-unsupported-0.8.2-100.1 ... you're mixing compiz-0.8.6 with plugins-main and plugins-unsupported of 0.8.2. There was an ABI bump inbetween, so this isn't going to work. > Strange, 8.6 intentionally ignored my existing config in > ~/.config/compizconfig and created a new configuration in > ~/.config/compizconfig-1, which was fine because it left my 8.2 config as a > reference. If interested, the 8.2 config is here: That sounds ... weird, and upstream libcompizconfig definitely doesn't do that. Dominique, is there some magic involved in that in your packages? ;-) > The first issue I notice with compiz 8.6 was slow rotation when using the > mouse to rotate the cube, cylinder, sphere and that the aspect ratio of the > cylinder was more hockey puck like than usual.
