[Bug 714248] [NEW] No transparency after uninstalling cairo-dock when using second monitor

 

Public bug reported:

Hi there,

I have a serious problem. I installed cairo-dock as explained on the
homepage manually on my Ubuntu 10.10. The problem was (well known) that
every windows and the panels look shaded and a black shadow shows trough
and new windows always overlap older ones. I did try the fake
transparency but did not work. So I uninstalled cairo disappointed as I
was and restarted the system. Know, every time I start my script to use
my second monitor  (using xrandr, it basically changes the resolution)
this problem reappears even though cairo dock has been removed. But this
script worked for many years now. I am really frustrated at this point.

Could someone please help me?
(I have Compiz installed (simple-ccsm))

Best,
Patrick
