Package: compiz
Version: 0.7.6-7
Severity: important

I begin using Compiz by running "compiz --replace" and that works well.  To
continue using it, I save my current session via the Gnome session applet.
However, the session file stores references to compiz.real instead of compiz
along with all of the command line arguments.

Normally this would be okay, since the session file properly includes the
--indirect-rendering argument.  Unfortunately, without the compiz script
setting the LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT environment variable, compiz will not
start when Gnome does.  It tries and fails several times until I am left
without a window manager.  I can then re-run "compiz --replace" in a terminal
window (which was also saved with the session) and get back to a usable
desktop.

I'm not sure what the solution is since gnome-session has no way of knowing
that it should save calls to compiz instead of compiz.real.

compiz.real is gone, so the bug might be gone now.
