Comment 6 for bug 980663

I've also used this setting to fix XBMC because compiz causes severe tearing without it.

I've added a startup entry that runs "/usr/bin/compiz" upon login as a temporary workaround that works about 90% of the time, but I still occasionally end up with a session that only shows the wallpaper.

I would greatly appreciate some sort of fix for this "regression" (since this option had no issues in 11.10 and before) and/or a more general effort to relieve these long standing tearing/graphical issues that seem to come with compiz. Thanks!
