I see the same thing as Juan Pablo Salazar Bertín and George Pollard. I decided to look a little further into it:
1) I start gnome-compiz-preferences from a terminal, and nothing happens. 2) I start it again from another terminal, and the dialog pops up. At the exact same time, in the first terminal, I get the following error messages: (gnome-compiz-preferences:10673): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_get_uri_from_local_path: assertion `g_path_is_absolute (local_full_path)' failed ** (gnome-compiz-preferences:10673): WARNING **: plugin inputzoom isn't installed 3) I have verified (by pressing Ctrl-C in each of the two terminals in succession) that it is in fact the first instance that pops up, not the second. In other words, starting the second instance somehow unwedges the first one. -- gnome-compiz-preferences does not start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118948 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
