Thank you for your bug report, could you add your .xsession-errors to the bug?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Oh, also is that an upgrade or new installation?

You might want to try that update from today:

"compizconfig-backend-gconf (0.9.5.92-0ubuntu5) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/fix_979770.patch:
    - The config for the Default profile was not copied to the user's
      gconf tree unless they had previously logged into the Ubuntu (unity)
      profile (LP: #979770)"

You will find attached the requested .xsession-errors file. There is not much info in it.

This was a new installation on April 14 using the current daily build liveCD.

Before logging in to Classic, I had already logged in several times to Unity.

Is there some Update Manager update/upgrade process you would like me to try, even though this process does not always catch recent changes?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

It seems like you compiz profile is broken, you should try to reset it. do you get the issue in a guest session?

[peterzay (peterzay)]

Yes, the guest session has the same problem.

How do I reset compiz? Do I reset it for the guest account or the regular admin account?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

if a guest session has the same issue a reset will not work, can you copy the output of "dpkg -l | grep compiz" to the bug?

[peterzay (peterzay)]

Please see attached screenshot for requested output.

This problem is resolved with the production release of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin.
