kwin not restored after uninstalling compiz

[Phlip]

Binary package hint: compiz

steps to reproduce:

 - install compiz-core & stuff
 - play with eyecandy
 - uninstall compiz

observed behavior:

 - all windows have no frames
    (this is extremely naive user-hostile; not many people
     would know how to recover without a complete reinstall!)

expected behavior:

 - the uninstaller should patch kwin back into whatever KDE
    config file needs it

workaround:

 - sudo aptitude reinstall kwin

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? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

I switched to Vista. In exchange for ridiculously slow performance, systems like
Midi, VPN, and Sleep now work correctly. Sorry!

This workaround:

 - sudo aptitude reinstall kwin
is not working.
I do on every login click to a button which "/usr/bin/kwin --replace".

IT'S BEEN AGES, ISNT THERE ANY SOLUTION?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
