Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
after being forced to change from nvidia-glx to nvidia-glx-legacy
drivers I found that compiz would not work because the legacy driver
doesn't support compositing. When logging in I would only get the
background wallpaper, but no panels or windows.
I thought it might be possible to improve things by disabling the
composite extension in xorg.conf. Once I made the change I restarted X.
I found that compiz was still running and it was spawning thousands of
ompiz processes. Not sure what will correct this problem, but forcing a
change from one driver to another has caused great issues with my laptop
desktop.
here is the process listing that is being created....
sam 32759 32739 0 11:38 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/compiz gconf
the current is ...
$ ps -ef|grep compiz|wc -l
5851
The number is steadily growing...
