Description Lepht Anonym 2008-03-07 16:21:45 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080208 Fedora/2.0.0.12-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Description of problem:
after i updated the kernel to kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8 with the package updater GUI, i rebooted and logged in to find that graphical windows had been affected - their titlebars are no longer present, they all open fullsize in the top left corner and they now cannot be moved or switched between. the workspace switcher has also been disabled, with only one workspace available, and desktop effects are gone. other users have also been experiencing this - see

thanks for any assistance - Lepht Anonym <lepht>


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8

How reproducible:
Didn't try


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start with kernel version kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8
2. use the package manager to update, selecting all updates it suggests
3. reboot

Actual Results:
the same problem i described above, with the malfunctioning graphical window system.

Expected Results:
