This happens to me, too, and I'd like to add how XGL is started exactly to make it better reproduceable: A new xsession is created: /usr/share/xsessions/xgl.desktop
containing: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=XGl Exec=/usr/bin/startxgl.sh Icon= Type=Application where /usr/bin/startxgl.sh is the script which actually starts xgl and looks in a minimal case (not starting compiz withit) like this: #!/bin/bash Xgl -fullscreen :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:fbo & sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session This is a popular method to start XGL, as it leaves you the option to start a normal Xorg Session from GDM. It is reported e.g.: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=174233 http://compiz.net/viewtopic.php?pid=3645#p3645 http://tinyurl.com/lgjsz http://tinyurl.com/n8vkk (tiny as I don't want to break the layout...) -- Incomplete logout options with XGL https://launchpad.net/bugs/36321 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
