2008-06-18 08:28:32 Nikolaus Rath description Since Compiz seems to be unuseful to my system everyday needs, and because it seems to make my screen-resolution settings change from time to time at first boot (i have to log-out then ubuntu starts ok), i decided to remove. Well, everything is ok now, but as Ubuntu is getting so well polished and some ppl is already speaking of the help command that dosnt work in appearance menu, i decided to tell that -Compiz options stills on the preferences-appearence after I remove compiz. A standard Ubuntu Hardy installation has no dependency on the compiz packages, only a recommendation. The Appearance Preferences on the other hand always offer visual effects, even if the compiz packages are not installed. There should be either a dependency on compiz or the preferences app should detect whether compiz is available and offer visual effects only in that case.
