Hi raveit65,
Initially I changed this bug to "invalid", but after reading through the
comments I changed it back to "fix committed", as I hadn't updated the
initial description with what the actual problem was.
The actual problem exposed in this report was that the backends were not
being installed with the correct library suffix. The undefined symbol
errors, however, are not a bug. This is because you are attempting to
load them as compiz plugins directly. Because they are not compiz
plugins, they do not contain the vtable entry point symbol that all
compiz plugins have, hence the error message.
If you wish to change the active backend, you need to adjust
/etc/compizconfig/config and change the value for [gnome_session] from
"backend = gconf" to "backend = $backend" (so long as MATE still exports
DESKTOP_SESSION_ID)
** Changed in: compiz
