Sam, Thanks!
No, I don't know whether 'it' has ever worked before or not. Whatever
the 'it/compositing' might be over XDMCP. What I do know is the error about
the composite manager crash is the first one I have ever seen before. I've
run compiz for a while and xdmcp as well and ever since the 0.5.x days I've
never seen this error before, that's why I thought it was so strange.
I do have another piece of the puzzle though. I installed Arch on my
laptop
where I can't get compiz to work due to the (omitting curse words) ATI driver
fiasco and Arch not having a fglrx driver. My laptop is using the
OSS 'radeon' driver which is OK to look at, but no compiz. So while writing
this email, I decided to test the XDMCP connection to the original i686 box
that caused the error and ... I was able to connect without any error from my
laptop currently running on the radeon driver.
I have 2 hard drives for my laptop. The other drive has the openSuSE
11.0
install on it that I was using when the error occurred. I'll reinstall it and
enable the crashhandler and see if I can catch anything and report back.
Strange error indeed. At least with the test tonight we have narrowed
it down
to something on the openSuSE 11.0 install on my laptop ;-)
