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:
