Description of problem: I have set up KDE to start with compiz enabled by adding the following to ~/.kde/Autostart harald@c-15b1e055 Autostart]$ cat compiz.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=compiz --display $DISPLAY --replace gconf & gnome-window-decorator & GenericName[en_US]= StartupNotify=false Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-KDE-autostart-after=kdesktop This works just fine for the first session I start. But if I use the "Switch User - Start a new session" function in KDE to log into another X session compiz fail. Any programs launched opens with no titlebar, so the can not be moved/closed etc. If I try to run desktop-effects to enable/disable the effects, this will return an error if I try to do so in a second session. If compiz is enabled in the first session or not does not matter. I have also verified that the results are the same in Gnome. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-0.0.13-0.32.20060817git.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.2-4.fc6 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a KDE or Gnome session via gdm. 2. Start a new session by using either "Switch User - Start a new session" function in KDE or "Applications - System - New Session" in Gnome. 3. Log into the second session and try to enable desktop effects using either a KDE Autostart file, or the desktop-effects application. Actual results: compiz only work for the first session. Expected results: Should be able to configure compiz to run on any given session, and on several sessions. Additional info: I have also tried a Autostart file where I do not specify display for compiz, this give me the same result. harald@c-15b1e055 Autostart]$ cat compiz.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=compiz --replace gconf & gnome-window-decorator & GenericName[en_US]= StartupNotify=false Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-KDE-autostart-after=kdesktop
seems like DUP of 208370 to me
Matej, I see that you in 208370, wich might be a duplicate of this, suggest people uninstall nVidia drivers and run on RedHat/Fedora provided x-org only. The Ati driver I was running when I submitted the bug report are the drivers that came with FC6 (Zod), provided by RedHat. --- Also in 208370 I do not see it mentioned that it only fail on a second, third, fourth etc. X session opened?
Update. This is not longer a problem for me since I switched to an nVidia graphics card. Currently I am running with these drivers: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.9626-3.lvn6 kmod-nvidia-1.0.9626-2.2.6.18_1.2798.fc6
