Ok, this gconfd-2 thing seems to be the result of 'compiz --replace' starting a loop that triggers this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/150721
Addition to above points: *) Starting compiz via setting 'Visual Effects' to 'Normal' in 'Appearance Preferences' (and removing all other compiz/fusion-icon autostart entries) works fine. That's why I couldn't reproduce the problem with a new user - 'Normal' is default and compiz was already running. -- compiz --replace fails to kill metacity, resulting in cpu overload https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389686 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
