As of 12.10, the problem seems to be that windows are initialized with the glPaint handler disabled, and the glPaint handler only gets enabled if the plugin is disabled/enabled.
It looks like the 12.04 version of this plugin used the config serialization interface to enable the glPaint handler after windows were initialized ... so reading through the code, it looks like it should have worked, although it definitely did not work for me in 12.04, so I assume there was some other problem with that code. The attached patch fixes the issue for me in 12.10. ** Patch added: "addhelper.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/808909/+attachment/3472716/+files/addhelper.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808909 Title: Dim Inactive plugin disabled by default although stated as enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/808909/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
