The problem is when nautilus is not handling the desktop compiz totally freaks out and behaves poorly. Things like minimizing windows totally freezes until I hit the "alt" key which then "unfreezes" the animation. Unity/Compiz just acts buggy/bizarre in the live session. However if I open dconf-editor in the live session and check the box to have nautilus handle the desktop all of the problems go away and compiz/unity acts as expected. Compiz seems to expect this option to be enabled and barely works without it.
This is why it should be enabled for the live session. I have very common hardware (intel graphics) and saw these issues on some pretty recent daily ISO's. (think the last I tried was april 17th or 18th?). This should be easy to reproduce, boot into a live session with this option disabled and try to do some common window management like minimizing windows. These kinds of glitches in a live session will leave a bad impression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1170483 Title: The file manager (nautilus) handling the Desktop is not being enabled in live session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1170483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
