compiz still broke in today's Hardy update

[tuxalot]

Please help! I've posted this before, and some have suggested that it is not a Compiz problem. Terminal shows this:

$ compiz

After Compiz attempts to load, the open windows on my screen change, and the min/max close buttons are missing...

Sounds like your missing some of the core plugins. Can you type the following from a terminal shell:

sudo aptitude reinstall compiz-fusion-plugins-main

If that fails, try replacing reinstall with install.

Since the last comment was a request for information, I am assuming there are no developers actively working on this bug (what "In Progress" means). Setting to Incomplete.

Tuxalot, please try the suggestion from the previous comment and reply back what happened.

Thanks!

I will not have time to investigate this for a bit due to work. Instead, I
installed Sawfish as a window manager, and am using Xcompmgr and this
combination seems to work well on this very old computer. I'll report back
when I get time to try the suggestion.

Thanks for staying on top of this!
