Comment 17 for bug 684019

Oh come on - it remains unfixed for 17 months. I'm forced to use kwin because this makes compiz unusable.

I switched from gentoo to arch linux then to ubuntu - I don't have time to hack my desktop packages (patch this, download and compile from devel branch that, remove this, make symbolic link to that). I thought: 'OK. I have decent machine now and I can afford to have slower, not so bleeding-edge (aka stable) and more bloated distro. In return I'll get out-of-the box working distro with strong community/support'. And I have to say I am pretty happy with the choice I made.

But the way this bug is being handled is tragic. Is there someone who cares about compiz on ubuntu?

Maybe you need a volunteer to fix this bug? I can help - apply (or write if current patch is incorrect) the patch, create package, etc. Actually I can devote some of my free time to fix ubuntu bugs I encounter - all I need is someone who can make fixed packages available for the public (e.g. via apt-get upgrade)
