Desktop freeze on starting Wesnoth

[Henrik Nilsen Omma]

Binary package hint: compiz

When starting the game 'Battle for Wesnoth' the desktop freezes if compiz is enabled. With plain metacity there is no problem.

This is on an up-to-date Gutsy. 'Battle for Wesnoth' is installed from universe. Desktop effects otherwise work fine.

Thanks for your bugreport.

I was not able to reproduce this on my nvidia system with the latest compiz (nor on a ati system).

I too, cannot reproduce this on my two machines (one has an i915-GPU, the other a GeForce 8800 GPU).

The problem seems to have gone away with the latest compiz and kernel/driver updates. I'll close and retest periodically over the next few days.
