That's a good example, does that mean that in Ubuntu 16.10 if one doesn't use compositing he won't be seeing the desktop icons and background? @Alberts, which distro are you using or which one is closest with upstream flashback? Debian? > P.S. Do you have numbers about usage? I have somewhat exact numbers for Greece: http://www.ltsp.org/stories/widget-map/?location=Greece (less than half of the installations are shown in that map) 1000+ schools are using LTSP. They have on average one computer lab with 13 computers, serving 100 students. So 1000 installations, 13,000 computers, 100,000 users are using gnome-flashback 12.04 here. We didn't upgrade to 14.04 because of issues with the keyboard layout and the indicator. We'll upgrade them to 16.04 sometime this summer. They don't show up in the official stats much (popcon, ubuntu repository hits etc) because there's only one installation per school, the rest of the computers are netbooted from a single image. Worldwide I don't have exact numbers, the LTSP map is at http://ltsp.org/stories/ but I suspect there are 10 times more installations, but only half of them with gnome-flashback. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565640 Title: Set compositing-manager=false by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1565640/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
