Description of problem:
This problem occurred during the latest Fedora test day. It it possible to turn desktop effects on and use the cube-like 3D desktop, but the image is corrupt and can't really be used for serious work. I managed to make a screenshot of it (attaching). I'm also going to attach my Xorg.0.log. I have no xorg.conf. This is what's printed when using command line (as opposed to Gnome menu):

$ desktop-effects
gtk-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 (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.

(not sure how this is helpful, though). Anyway, here's my SMOLT profile:

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 3 Ben Skeggs 2010-09-07 06:33:27 UTC
This looks very similar to a problem I'm sure is fixed by now.  Do you still see it with latest updates?

Also, changing version back to 13....

Comment 4 Radek Bíba 2010-09-16 14:07:26 UTC
As I wrote in comment 0, this happened with a live CD during a test day. I have RHEL as my primary distribution now, but I'll have a look when I take part in another test day or when I get a newer live CD.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 15:25:56 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 15:32:46 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
