Public bug reported:
After a recent update this week, the latest version of compiz appears to
prevent panels from showing up in KDE.
1) I am using Kubuntu Oneiric with all packages up to date.
2) The problem first occured in the past week, and is still present in compiz
1:0.9.5.94+bzr2803-0ubuntu5)
3) What I expect: When logging into Kubuntu, I should have the desktop appear,
windows should appear, and the panel(s) should appear. Compiz should start,
and I should be able to use compiz as I would use kwin, as a window manager.
4) What happens: when logging into Kubuntu, I see the desktop appear, I see a
few windows appear, but the panels never show up. Compiz starts, and I can
rotate the desktop cube, but I never have access to the menus or tools on the
panel.
5) workaround. I can can right click on the desktop, and select "run command",
then type in "kwin --replace". Immediately, my panels appear, and compiz is
turned off.
I still prefer to use compiz over kwin, so I would appreciate if anyone
could tell me why panels are being blocked by compiz - or if I need to
change a setting somewhere to make it work.
(KDE compatibility is turned on in CCSM, although the KDE/QT event loop
integration is turned off.)
