After the updates of April 8th, on Lucid (10.04 beta), the window
manager "metacity" is not being started at boot anymore. I have to start
it manually, going in "Applications -> Terminal -> metacity&".

These updates also caused the visual effects to stop working. When I
right click on the desktop, go in "System -> Preferences => Apparence"
then click on Visual Effects tab and choose "Extra", the screen flickers
but compiz is not enabled. If I click on the "Save parameters", this
window hangs and I must kill it.

This using the Lucid Lynx beta (amd64) with all updates applied and
"ubuntu-desktop" metapackage installed.
