TC - I do not want to open another bug, but I think that the scope of this one may be too focused on Tweak. At initial upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04, noted Compiz could not be set as window decorator. I was able to resolve by completely removing the package, as it showed it was being installed from Local in Synaptic.

After last update on 10/10, my system defaults to Metacity, Compiz-Fusion icon will not start, settings made in CompizConfig Settings Manager do not "stick" (that is, they are back to default after I save and close and then reopen).

When I do a compiz --replace:
d0ti5@Phideaux:~$ compiz --replace

Then, I have no window borders or controls. When I try to start the gtk window decorator (as per http://wiki.compiz.org/Decorators/GTKWindowDecorator), I can at least get my window borders back, but the command hangs forever.

I initially ran an update to Beta through Synaptic, and found that only Metacity decorator would work. There was an issue with having Compiz install from local disk, so I removed it from Local in Synaptic and reinstalled from the Meerkat repositories, and it worked. On 10-10, I processed updates as per normal routine, and Compiz failed to start. I deleted it and reinstalled it (with booting in between). Still, nothing.

I considered that there could have been a burp in my update, so I reinstalled from a new disk burned yesterday. Still, I cannot start Compiz-Fusion, update Compiz settings, or run Compiz.

Some errors:

So the KeyError seems to be another one/new one. I also had the problem with borders and panels. Uninstalling the restricted nvidia driver helped me. I don't know why...

At all it sounds like a compiz problem...

Hi,
I have applied all of the suggested fixes as described but have had no
success at all in getting compiz to work.
Compiz was working fine until I upgraded to ubuntu 10.10
I think that there must be some sort of change in 10.10 that has caused
these problems to appear.
Will try any other suggestions the community comes up with.

completely. keep up the great work on tweak!
