After some head scratching here I did an 'apt-get purge compiz' and 'apt-get install compiz'. I then tried to do a 'compiz --replace &' as root and it gave me an error. So I ran it as a regular user 'jim' and it seemed to install correctly. But when I checked /home/jim/.gconf/ desktop/gnome/session/required_components/%gconf.xml the window manager was still listed as metacity. So I tried to change it using gconf- editor the setting in the file did not change. So I ran (as root) 'dpkg-reconfigure gconf' and then the setting in the file was changed.
I don't know if any of this thrashing about has relevance... but... the good news is that the weirdness in evolution was gone again once compiz was loaded and running properly! So I can confirm that changing the window manager does change the odd behaviour of mouse focus in Evolution. I am adding as an attachment ~/.gconf/apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/%gconf.xml. This has (I think) the complete list of compiz settings. ** Attachment added: "compiz settings" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35755488/%25gconf.xml -- karmic kubuntu evolution folder select mouse target area miniscule gtk(?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
