Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: desktop-effects
I have recently run into a problem where I had to install a legacy
nvidia driver to get xwindows working. The legacy driver apparently
doesn't support the composite manager.
When I create a new account and login into and then go preferences
->desktop-effects and select enable it kills metacity, then attempts to
enable desktop-effects forever. Prior to this upgrade if the hardware
was incapable of handling desktop-effects you would receive a message
dialog within a minute or so explaining this issue, and be returned
back to the starting window manager. This stopped working after the last
dist-update to the system.
Currently running desktop-effects 0.7.1-0ubuntu3
