aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

It's strange because before maximum 3D texture size is 1024...

So i modify /usr/bin/compiz :
        TEXTURE_LIMIT=1024
        #TEXTURE_LIMIT=$(glxinfo -l | grep GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE | sed 's/.*=[^0-9]//g')

and now :
$ compiz
Checking for Xgl: not present.

It works but when the window is maximized, the title bar is totally white.

Before I didn't have this problem...
