I think what the original submitter means is that visual effects can
still be enabled from appearance preferences even if Compiz has not been
installed. This is something I can reproduce and I'd consider it a bug.
Either appearance preferences should detect whether compiz is available,
or the gnome-control-center (or maybe ubuntu-desktop) package should
depend on Compiz.
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
** Summary changed:
- more on preferences-appearance : removing compiz
+ Appearance Preferences offer Visual Effects without installed Compiz
** Description changed:
- Since Compiz seems to be unuseful to my system everyday needs, and
- because it seems to make my screen-resolution settings change from time
- to time at first boot (i have to log-out then ubuntu starts ok), i
- decided to remove.
+ A standard Ubuntu Hardy installation has no dependency on the compiz
+ packages, only a recommendation. The Appearance Preferences on the other
+ hand always offer visual effects, even if the compiz packages are not
+ installed.
- Well, everything is ok now, but as Ubuntu is getting so well polished
- and some ppl is already speaking of the help command that dosnt work in
- appearance menu, i decided to tell that
-
- -Compiz options stills on the preferences-appearence after I remove
- compiz.
+ There should be either a dependency on compiz or the preferences app
+ should detect whether compiz is available and offer visual effects only
+ in that case.
