Confirmed this issue. The problem occurs when a user simply issues a remove and not a purge of the desktop-effects-kde package, which leaves behind an Xsession file:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/25enable-compiz The contents of this file test for a hidden configuration file in the users home directory: $HOME/.kde/share/config/compizasWM And if it exists, it exports the KDEWM variable to be /usr/bin/compiz. This behaviour is incomplete, as the Xsession test for compiz should test for the compiz binary before exporting it as a valid window manager. Please correct. I have attached the patch to correctly test for the existence of compiz binary in addition to the original test. ** Attachment added: "Corrects behaviour to test for /usr/bin/compiz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14014883/25enable-compiz ** Changed in: desktop-effects-kde (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Uninstall bug with compiz packages for kubuntu/hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218180 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
