Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
after upgrading to jaunty RC1 from intrepid, Desktop effects sometimes
crash when clicking on picture links in firefox. When trying to reenable
them through the appearance settings, they don't get reenabled, even
though the appearance applet seems to think so. At lest the radio button
stays next to "normal" after I am asked if I want to keep the settings
(and I click on keep settings).
If I try to start compiz manually at this point, I get the following
output:
:~$ compiz

Note that compiz does not exit, it just sits there after the "aborted" message,
but there are no desktop effects and no acceleration.
I have desktop effects again if I log out and back in. It seems to work fine
until I start using firefox.
