Compiz doesn't work with 11.04

[Mikael Kristola]

After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, Compiz effects don't work anymore in Gnome desktop. In "System -> Preferences -> Appearance", the tab "Visual effects" has disappeared. That used to be the place where to enable Compiz effects. The Compiz settings program works, but the effects are not displayed.

I have a mother board integrated Intel graphics device. I haven't done any other changes besides the upgrade. That was the point that the effects stopped working.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on your current version. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at ubuntu.com). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. If you are unable to test the development version, please let us know if you are able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 11.10.

Thank you for your help and patience.
