Setting "Visual effects" to "None" is ignored when logging in again

[Adrian VELICU]

Binary package hint: compiz

I'm running Hardy.

Setting Visual Effects to None in the Appearance preferences disables compiz for the running session. However, the next time I log in, desktop effects are still set to the previous setting.

I can confirm this bug.

I'm running Kubuntu Hardy and I can change System/Desktop Effects to "None" and it turn Compiz off for the rest of that session but Compiz comes back after next reboot.

[PS. Compiz looks great and I've been running it for a few months now but boy it is buggy, at least on KDE. That's why I am trying to turn if off].

thank you for your bug report, this configuration is specific to GNOME is that what you are using?

[markb (mark-blakeney)]

Not sure if you are asking me Sebastien but I am running Kubuntu Hardy. The "Compiz Desktop Effects" window pops up from the KDE "System/Desktop Effects" menu. Seems like exactly the same bug though?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

no, I was asking the bug submitter, your issue is a kubuntu one and not due to gnome-control-center

[markb (mark-blakeney)]

Sabastien, are you saying that my comments about this same bug are not appropriate here because I use KDE? I'm not familiar with the ubuntu bug process but should I really have to raise another bug with exactly the same title and description but assigned to a different ubuntu package?

I'm having the same issue here, using GNOME.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you make a screenshot of the dialog you are using and describe easy steps to trigger the bug?

We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in the previous comments, we need to investigate the problem further. However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.
