Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Observation:

On two machines I own, a 64-bit Toshiba with a radeon x1200  ( RS690
chipset ) and a System 76 Starling ( intel GMA 950 chipset), Attempting
to start compiz using System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects
fails, but I can start compiz from a terminal prompt and it runs fine.
