The message seems fine, but why the value of windowmanager isn't changing I don't know. Maybe you could try to manually set it to metacity with Gconf editor, reboot and see if that works, check to see if Visual effects says "None" and from there try again to change to normal or extra and reboot and see if Compiz starts. If not, maybe reinstalling the Compiz-packages could work.
Also you could check the Hardware drivers just to be sure that the upgrade went fine and the new driver got installed. -- Lucid has no title bars - Metacity issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560082 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
