Comment 41 for bug 878820

Hi Karl,

I should note in advance that at the end of the day, the fix posted up there ended up segfaulting my compiz after a few random updates to oneiric in mainline, I recompiled it a few times and eventually got so tired of it I just reverted back to natty after trying pangolin (it's not just broken there but *totally* broken, if I recall correctly the plugin completely fails to work) and finding it no better.

I also tried nuking the *entire* compiz distro and all supporting infrastructure and rebuilding from source, but this is not much of a better solution either, random segfaults aplenty still.

For those that wish to continue with this line of wrestling in oneiric or pangolin you will want to be checking http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Grid , you can grab the source via git and recompile like so;

git clone http://cgit.compiz-fusion.org/compiz/plugins/grid/

cd grid
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install

But please keep in mind the problems I've iterated above and consider if you really want to go through this yourself.

Best of luck.
