This is most definitely NOT a regression of 430981. /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager is set correctly both before and after the reboot.
After a reboot I can fix the problem (which manifests as missing key bindings and also windows are missing the title bar and the menu overlaps the panel at the top of the screen - weird). I can temporarily "fix" the problem by setting "Visual Effects" to "Normal" (they show as "None" after a reboot), but then after the next reboot I have the same problem. If I set "Visual Effects" back to "None" after fixing the problem windows display normally (without the compiz enhancements), but the problem always returns after a reboot. I have found that ~/.gconfd/saved_state gets rewritten with some line diffs (I've attached a *.bad1 and *.good1 to show the file before and after fixing the problem in Appearance Preferences), but across reboots instead of a few line differences the entire file seems to be changed, so maybe this is not part of the problem. If anyone has some ideas for what to look for I would appreciate it. Thanks. ** Attachment added: "saved_state-bad-good.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37395929/saved_state-bad-good.tar.gz -- Appearance "Visual Effects" settings lost across reboots https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
