Bug#551654: Compiz won't start/won't load properly



Package: compiz
Version: 0.8.2-6
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave

After last upgrade, compiz just stopped working.

First problem was that compiz wouldn't start at all, output is in
http://foolcontrol.org/img/bug/mesa%20bug.txt, which I fixed.

Second problem came that compiz would start automatically (I didn't
invoke it) and that once it starts, windows can't be minimized or moved
or anything and are surrounded by these black thick "borders/edges".

It came to my attention that the same bug is present in latest Ubuntu,
9.10:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/178953
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/363517
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/363821=20

compiz-check would warn me on "Checking for hardware/setup problems..."
but after I disabled /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager
(gconf-editor) compiz-check does not issue any problems (see
http://foolcontrol.org/img/bug/compiz-check%20report.txt)

There are no problems with metacity (metacity --replace), which I'm
currently using without any problems, however when I issue "compiz
--replace" compiz starts and is displayed as you can see on screenshot
above (also see: http://foolcontrol.org/img/bug/compiz%20--replace.txt)
