Comment 153 for bug 729979

Hi there...

Finally I got a solution: I installed emerald-0.9.5 from source this morning and the blank white windows are gone, focus-animation "dodge" is working fine, awesome!

The further hard- & software-configuration is like described in my post #152 as "Configuration #3".

To compile emerald-0.9.5 for ubuntu 12.04.1 I followed the description at "http://handytutorial.com/install-emerald-in-ubuntu-12-04-12-10/".

The first attempt failed with make complaining missing dependencies. I found the fix at "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emerald/+bug/968112" in post #7, there is a further environment-variable to set before: 'export "LIBS=-ldl -lm"'. Great thanks to user "MC Return"!

After that, the package built successfully (I used "checkinstall" instead of "make install" to get a installable package).

I'm very happy to have emerald back in 12.04 and that the blank white windows are gone ;-) Thank you all out there for your great work and wish you a nice weekend...
