That looks as if it switches window manager to metacity - thus turning off compiz.

If there is a general problem with Wine in jaunty, let's talk about it and help to get it fixed.

If there is a general problem with compiz in Jaunty, ditto.

If the problem is some esoteric interaction between them, ditto.

I'm sorry if my simple-minded approach is offending anyone - I thought the purpose of testing a new pre-release was to spot little niggles like this so the developers could fix them before the final release. I've drawn attention to this one - it's real, it's reproducible, at least on my machine, and it's minor - not really a show-stopper.

If anyone needs more information about what's going on they could:

a) ask me for logs, etc

b) try running both wine and compiz in Jaunty and see if they get the same effects as I've described.

Or just ignore it, in which case I will find Jaunty less satisfactory than Intrepid, where wine and compiz work together just fine.
