No sign of compiz taking control appears. Also, I cannot see what I type in any terminal window. It seems to respond to clicks to bring other terminals to the front, but I can't see it respond in any other way.Does http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/11253.html help?
Yes it did. Cool. OK, given that, I have two suggestions :-)1) Turn on decoration and some other minimal window manager abilities by default. I'd argue that the lack of decoration and basic window management out of the box is a bug
2) Add compizconfig-settings-manager as a suggests for compiz. That will give newbies a slightly easier way of setting up the basics and playing with effects.
I noticed a few other problems, such as not honoring the 2x4 desktop I was using under metacity (it folded to a 1x4 desktop and threw all my windows into the first screen), and not honoring some of my metacity keybindings (perhaps a settings-migration tool would help?).
Thanks, Jerry
