Compiz on Jaunty...




I upgraded the netbook to from Intrepid (8.10) to Jaunty (9.04). Gnome-session stopped launching Compiz. It runs fine if you launch it from the terminal, and picks up that it needs the intel Xorg driver.
When compiz, or metacity don't launch, you have no window decorations, you can't change context, and you can't move between desktops (obviously). I just added compiz manually back via the gnome-session-manager. Aside from that weird quirk, Jaunty is great. Network-manager sucks with the Broadcomm 802.11g card a whole lot less, instead of about five minutes of hit-or-miss WPA2 authentication, it now logs on first try.
