After activating the graphics card drivers and rebooting I usually go to the synaptic package manager and look for simple-ccsm (simple compiz settings manager) so I can activate the compiz effects easily. All went well and I chose my customizations. However when I used programs I had no compiz effects at all, no wobbly windows ect. Yet all were activated according to the simple compiz settings manager as I double checked. I then right clicked on the desktop and chose the visual effects tab and noticed that the effects were switched off. Once I set them to custom the simple ccsm settings were activated. I've only had this problem with the final release of jaunty as all the other builds worked fine without me having to go to the visual effects tab via desktop.
