Package: compiz
Version: 0.5.2-2
Severity: important

On this system, running "compiz --replace" returns an empty screen, with
only the mouse pointer. The mouse seems active, does change according to
what is guessed to be under it, and applications may apparently be run.

FWIW, the pointers shown did follow the mouse pointer theme as set up in
GNOME.

The fglrx driver may very well be the trouble maker...

Ok I am closing this bug then.

Out of curiosuty: Did you upgrade fglrx recently and just forgot to
rebuild the kernel module? Was this upgrade supposed to change anything
for compiz?
