Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz-core

Can't seem to run compiz with KDE. No matter what I've tried I always endup with the output below.
---- compiz output.
compiz.real: No stencil buffer. Clipping of transformed windows is not going to be correct when screen is transformed.
compiz.real: Couldn't load plugin 'decorator'
compiz.real: Couldn't load plugin 'state'
compiz.real: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/ubuntu

- And I am left without any windows decorators, plus all open applications are moved to desktop 1.

The system is a Thinkpad T60, Core 2 duo, 2GHz/1.5GB RAM and Intel integrated graphics and I am running Feisty.

I've added as much details as I could think of below. Most of the xorg.conf Options lines below were picked up while googling the problem. They don't make much difference. In particular, the Xorg.0.log reports that RenderAccel, AllowGLXWithComposite, AddRGBGLXVisuals, DisableGLXRootClipping are not used. I have no idea whether or not that is significant.

You've got a corrupted configuration for compiz. Run `gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz` to reset to stock settings.

Thanks for the reply! Anyway I can fix the problem without involving gconf? I
am on KDE! Or is gconf an absolute must.

Best regards,

The only way to get compiz in Ubuntu 7.04 is with gconf.
