Bug#531798: compiz-core: /usr/bin/compiz starts xterm with --restart option
Package: compiz-core
Version: 0.8.2-6
Severity: normal
if something goes wrong in its attempt to start compiz.real
the compiz script has a nuber of fallback options, and in my
case it goes down to the last resort of starting an xterm
alas it uses the same option that would be good for a window
manager, "--restart", option on which xterm chokes and dies
the last lines from a "sh -x /usr/bin/compiz" command execution:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/bin/compiz: line 455: 6723 Aborted ${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}${COMPIZ_NAME} $COMPIZ_OPTIONS "$@" $COMPIZ_PLUGINS
+ exec xterm --replace
xterm: bad command line option "--replace"
[...]
