You don't have to "keep switching" as you're suggesting. Just switching once would be enough to break things. In my case, I'm having trouble with my video since upgrading to Karmic (see bugs #413259 and #44139) and attempted to turn off compiz. It took me 3 days to figure out why, no matter how many times I did it, I was still getting either compiz or, later, no window manager at all (compiz was failing to start) whenever I rebooted my machine (often, since those other bugs are causing my computer to freeze with a frequency exceeding that I experienced when I upgraded from DOS 6.22 to Windows 95).
I have to say that it seems poor practice to present users with a feature but shrug off bug reports about it because they "are not supposed" to use it. I am also surprised that you classified something that is clearly a bug as a wishlist item. Do you consider "turning off desktop effects turns them off" to be wishful thinking? Furthermore, the fact that a fix would "require changing user configuration" seems irrelevant to me. By changing the option on the "Visual Effects" page to "none," is the user not requesting precisely that their configuration be changed? -- changing visual effects to "none" doesn't override a saved session that contains compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
