®om: The directions in that post should give you a workaround plugin that is very similar to the one in my package (despite that post’s author’s misunderstanding of Git; `git revert` means undo a diff, not “revert to” a commit).

I suspect you have something weird in your home directory that you copied over across the fresh reinstall. Did you have a ~/.compiz/plugins/libworkarounds.so and ~/.compiz/metadata/workarounds.xml that would have been overriding the global ones? (You certainly do now that you’ve followed those directions; but if you had ever done any manual installation of compiz plugins in the past as well, that would obviously have prevented my package from having any effect.)

I recommend removing your ~/.compiz/plugins and ~/.compiz/metadata directories (or even entirely wiping out your compiz settings with rm ~/.compiz -rf; gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz), then reinstalling all compiz packages from apt. Or you could try again after creating a fresh new account and logging into it.
