Hi. Before reading your post but after I filed the bug I tried Icewm with the comand: icewm --replace The bug was not corrected. I will try again right now using your instructions and kwin.
One thing I failed to note -- in the middle of all my running programs and the desktop, there is a half-inch vertical black line. I just tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking in a terminal using metacity and the following errors seemed interesting. fixme:msxml:bsc_QueryInterface interface {6d5140c1-7436-11ce-8034-00aa006009fa} not implemented fixme:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx Parent is HWND_MESSAGE fixme:msxml:bsc_QueryInterface interface {79eac9e4-baf9-11ce-8c82-00aa004ba90b} not implemented fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 2 0x7d0bf320 (nil) 0x7d0bf3b4 -- window manager crash & nonload programs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185629 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
