Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-0.0.13-0.23.20060817git.fc6 How reproducible: 100% on this machine Steps to Reproduce: 1. run from the panel (Desktop->Preferences->More Preferences->Desktop Effects) 2. click on Enable Desktop Effects button Actual results: Chaos on screen for about 10 seconds, after which the display is restored, with the button sensitized. A few seconds later, chaos begins again, some seconds later the button is back to how it was before. There's no visible output that an error occurred. If I run desktop-effects from a terminal, the following is logged to the terminal: GTK Accessibility Module initialized string: metacity attempting to run compiz GTK Accessibility Module initialized gnome-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager. compiz: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work. compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0 compiz: No managable screens found on display :0.0 GTK Accessibility Module initialized Expected results: Would hope that an error dialog of some kind would have popped up saying that it didn't work, possibly containing the textual output from above, or at least recommending that I run things from a terminal to gather further information.

CVS should now report an error when compiz doesn't start correctly. I haven't built a new package yet, so I'm leaving this bug open.
Fixed, provided releng moves the package
