Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
I'm not positive which broke me, but here's what I did: Installed latest updates. Configured secondary display (Seperate X Screen/Xinerama). Logged off and back in for changes to take effect. After logging in, I have no desktop effects. From System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects, 'None' is selected. Attempting to enable either 'Normal' or 'Extra' effects results in a message box that reads, "The Composite extension is not available". Same experience after a reboot. I suffer from the ongoing plymouth/nouveau issues that prevent me from booting with the second display attached, and didn't get around to reconfiguring until just now. However, I did previously have this same configuration on this computer since Beta 1 was released. Further, the UI doesn't handle the fault gracefully -- clicking the OK button on "The Composite extension is not available" dialog does nothing, I must close it using the window control. The radio button retains the position I clicked on, which implies that effects are actually enabled, despite the error I just received.
