2008-05-18 21:59:17 Thinboy00 description Binary package hint: gnome-control-center Whenever compiz would crash in gusty, I could go to System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual effects tab and choose "Custom" to restore its custom settings configured via CompizConfig. Now, that radio button doesn't exist, or at least, when it crashes (which AFAIK is basically some very strange process deciding to change aforementioned radio button to "none") the button vanishes. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!! It means I have to manually set all of my configuration. It seems that the radio buttons which used to choose between several presets and a custom now break into and mess up CompizConfig. Combined with Bug #225014, this is going to make OpenOffice.org almost impossible to use for me.

Furthermore, selecting a preset configuration will overwrite your custom configuration. To reproduce: 0. Have Hardy, CompizConfig installed 1. Set some custom options via CC. I recommend turning on plugins relating to the cube because they are not favored by the presets 2. Open the dialog via the aforementioned path 3. choose a preset (like "none" or "normal") 4. Look at your settings in CompizConfig. Your custom settings will have been overwritten. In gusty, the custom settings would have been unchanged but ignored until you played with them again. Now they're overwritten.

It does add a radio button properly (you can tell because the "preferences" button opens a "simple" ccsm), but CompizConfig itself won't (see screenshot if you cannot tell which compizconfig is broken).
