Unity left bar is not responding to moving icons, resizing icons from Compiz, disabling autohide

[florin]

Cannot resize Unity left bar icons (in compiz), cannot make it not to autohide and just discovered I cannot add or move icons to the bar. I use a up-to-date upgradet Oneiric.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

I will answer it very quickly:
1. it is reproductible, I haven't been able since first install of Oneiric Ocelot alpha to change icon size or set the bar not to autohide
2. No particular steps. Just load desktop then try to move icons in the unity bar; go to CCSM and try to make icons smaller: the settings are saved but are not working.

I also have some other bugs:

And more. They might be connected and who does not experience the invasion of crashes at desktop load/startup might not have any problem with how Unity&Compiz work.

the settings not being working instantly is a known issue, you have to
logout and then login again and the icon size will change.

I've done that lots of times and for me it's not working.
