Description of problem: I tried to enable desktop effects on a Dell Inspiron 530 (the low end one that ships with Ubuntu) under f8t3 and it said it could not enable desktop effects. I tried installing the nvidia driver, but still had the same problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Whatever shipped with f8t3 plus a few more recent updates. How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Look And Feel->Desktop Effects 2. Click on Enable Desktop Effects 3. Actual results: A message saying desktop effects could not be enabled. Expected results: Desktop effects to work (at least with the nvidia driver installed) Additional info: Desktop effects also didn't work out of the box with Ubuntu. If this helps, here is a link to the smolt profile for that box: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=08085d09-c6e5-4c5d-b843-78828ad86e1e

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
