Bug Description
Seems that compiz is hanging on startup and doesn't draw anything for quite some users. The fix was:
- if libcomposite can't intialize, exit 1 and gnome-session restarts compiz (TO BE REMOVED)
- add --replace systematically to compiz to replace current compositing manager (TO BE REMOVED)
- we have a migration checker reverting the compiz default plugin list once for beta2 (TO BE REMOVED)
Seems compiz is locking up itself. See JasonW and Mikkel for machine which can reproduce that easily.
The two first hacks can be removed safely for now thanks to latest Daniel's branch.
