Description of problem: On x86_64 systems, gnome-compiz-manager is looking for the plugins in "/usr/lib/compiz", not "/usr/lib64/compiz", where they actually reside. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-compiz-manager-0.10.4-2.fc8 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gnome-compiz-manager from terminal, noting the resulting output therein. 2. Attempt to switch to GL Desktop 3. View results. Actual results: No window decorations; lots of text resulting in terminal, akin to: ** (gnome-compiz-preferences:12673): WARNING **: plugin place isn't installed -preferences:12673): WARNING **: plugin switcher isn't installed [...list truncated...] ** (gnome-compiz-preferences:12673): WARNING **: plugin decoration isn't installed As it stands, gnome-compiz-preferences is looking for /usr/lib/compiz/*.so -- which doesn't exist on an x86_64 system. These files do exist in /usr/lib64/compiz/. Indeed, making appropriate symlinks(s) during debugging did cause the error messages to go away (see below). Expected results: * gnome-compiz-manager looking in the right place for libs on x86_64 systems. Additional info: * Temporary (and only partial) work around is to create a symlink /usr/lib/compiz -> /usr/lib64/compiz/ * Alternately, user could create the directory and run: for i in `ls /usr/lib64/compiz/*`; do ln -s $i `basename $i`; done -or- Note that either of these allows the user to get partial use of selected desktop effects, although it seems not all of them.
>Note that either of these allows the user to get partial use of selected desktop >effects, although it seems not all of them. This comment was mostly due to wobbly windows not working. After actually enabling it in the gnome-compiz-preferences UI -- in addition to the ccsm options -- they work.
Created attachment 308903 [details] Patch for the spec file. This patch applies the lib-subdir.patch to gnome-compiz-manager.
Created attachment 308904 [details] Patch to fix the lib subdir. Patch for the source code to fix location to the lib subdir.
The two patches I have posted supposedly fix this issue. I've also filled a bug report against gnome-settings-manager with a patch for mainstream. See https://gna.org/bugs/?11815
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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.

I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
I can't find the subversion repository of gcm anymore to check if this has been really fixed or not upstream. But: the changes to the Xorg system CAN'T have fixed this.
