I cannot confirm this with Kubuntu Gutsy.

However, I'm just using "compiz --replace" to start it and I've discovered another bug in this context:
bug 159409 (Compiz fails to startup if "show icons on desktop" is disabled in KDE ("Error: Another window manager is already running"))

Please try, if using "compiz --replace" makes it any better and if you can actually start compiz if desktop icons are disabled.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release?

Thank you.
