I included the output in the description and added instructions on how to reproduce it.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: desktop-effects After updating my edgy installation to feisty I installed desktop- effects. When trying enable desktop-effects it complained that I didn't have gtk-window-decorator installed. gtk-window-decorator is provided by compiz-gnome. Is desktop-effects missing a dependency to compiz-gnome? + Manually installing compiz-gnome resolves the problem but shouldn't this + be expressed as a dependency? - (Edited: replaced dapper with edgy and edgy with feisty) + HOWTO REPRODUCE: + + Make sure you have desktop-effects installed. Remove compiz-gnome + package if installed. Start System/Preferences/Desktop Effects. Press + "Enable Desktop Effects"-button.
