So, the issue with compiz is that it checks the server's Xserver log to determine compatibility (which is of course, the wrong place to look for a thin client).
So, here are things you can do: 1. Install compiz in the chroot. There is already code in LDM to check if compiz is in the chroot and to use it to determine compatibility and force the server to use compiz 2. Now, if the server IS compatible with compiz, while the clients are NOT, that's when you run into problems. So, here are some choices: a. Do not run a GUI on the server <-- look up many howtos on disabling X from running on the server, and remove the Xorg log file on the server b. Use a server that does not have a compiz-compatible graphics card Unfortunately, current;y you can only tell the compiz script to FORCE the use of compiz, but you cannot tell it to force it to NOT use compiz through an environment variable. The bug has been reported but nobody seems to care on the compiz side.
