Since the problem is now well known, identified and solved, I've managed to recompile the package with latest emerald tag 0.9.4 (branch compiz++):
http://cgit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald/diff/?id=2f5649c6d57c1b38c9b1aca9c6e9987f66828bf5 http://cgit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald/snapshot/emerald-2f5649c6d57c1b38c9b1aca9c6e9987f66828bf5.tar.gz Generated configure scripts with autoconf and included them in tar.gz package. I've also removed all the source code patches for 0.7.2 version since the directory/file layout changed a bit. Didn't investigate it further, maybe some can verify if they are still needed. Its working well for me. However I've noticed some quirks in the behavior of compiz (not emerald related IMHO). There are already fixes in the compiz repo for some so we should see a more stable compiz release is hopefully not to far along the way from now. Verify if its working for you. ** Attachment added: "Emerald 0.9.4 amd64" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emerald/+bug/726229/+attachment/2107087/+files/emerald_0.9.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726229 Title: emerald crashed with SIGSEGV in decor_quads_to_property() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
