That does seem to be the case - turning off the cube and turning on the wall plugin returns the panels, but, the wall plugin completely messes up KDE - it no longer appears to be compatible.
My suspicion is that in modifying compiz for use with unity, the developers have completely broken it's ability to work with KDE. Can we change the package that this bug is attached to, and re-open it as a "please fix compiz for kde?" request? ** Changed in: unity Status: Invalid => New ** Project changed: unity => compiz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776824 Title: No panel and sidebar after enabling compiz cube To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/776824/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
