I'm trying to get a setup with two different Unity desktop sessions running at the same time. One for the local desktop, one for a remote desktop. This almost works, except that when starting the second Unity session, the compiz process that belongs to the first one is killed because of this code in /usr/bin/unity: # kill a previous compiz if was there (this is a hack as compiz can # sometimes get stuck and not exit on --replace) subprocess.call (["pkill", "-9", "compiz"]) Commenting this line makes both desktop sessions work fine. This kill is far too harsh. If you want to kill compiz, you should make sure that you are killing it in the same DISPLAY as the session that you are about to start, and not just every possible compiz process that is running. Please consider either removing the kill or making it apply only to processes in the same DISPLAY. Thanks.
