Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I'm not positive which broke me, but here's what I did:

Installed latest updates.
Configured secondary display (Seperate X Screen/Xinerama).
Logged off and back in for changes to take effect.

After logging in, I have no desktop effects.  From System > Preferences
> Appearance > Visual Effects, 'None' is selected.  Attempting to enable
either 'Normal' or 'Extra' effects results in a message box that reads,
"The Composite extension is not available".  Same experience after a
reboot.

I suffer from the ongoing plymouth/nouveau issues that prevent me from
booting with the second display attached, and didn't get around to
reconfiguring until just now.  However, I did previously have this same
configuration on this computer since Beta 1 was released.

Further, the UI doesn't handle the fault gracefully -- clicking the OK
button on "The Composite extension is not available" dialog does
nothing, I must close it using the window control.  The radio button
retains the position I clicked on, which implies that effects are
actually enabled, despite the error I just received.
