Bug description:
Binary package hint: compiz
In both Maverick and Natty, when replacing metacity with compiz in the
installer session, the root window gets initially painted by /usr/bin
/ubiquity-dm (you can see it for about a second) and then cleared to
black by compiz. There do not appear to be any windows set to
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP.
To reproduce:
Boot a live CD and press a key when you see the 'man = keyboard' icon.
Select a language then hit F6 over the first option. This will bring up the
kernel command line. Add 'break=bottom maybe-ubiquity' just before '--',
leaving a space between them, then hit enter to boot.
This should then bring you to an initramfs prompt. Type 'chroot root
bash' then 'sed -i "s/'metacity'/'compiz'/g" /usr/bin/ubiquity-dm'.
Type exit and exit again.
You should now be booted into the live session using compiz. The
screen will be black, despite the code in /usr/bin/ubiquity-dm that
attempts to paint to the root window. 'DISPLAY=:0 xsetroot -solid
red' from a VT will also not work.
