[Bug 663788] Re: "Extra" visual effects are reverted to "none" at random or when going into compiz settings manager

 

To add yet an other detail:
compiz --version gives 0.8.6

When the extra visual effects get disabled to "none", I can, without
touching anything else, shut down the system and reboot, and the effects
are back up once again; otherwise if I want to enable them again, I need
to first go into preferences>appearance>visual effects, enable extra,
wait for "searching drivers" progression bar, then accept new settings,
then go to preferences>compiz settings manager>effects, and enable again
Animation Add-ons.

I have noticed a weird behaviour, which I have no idea if is related,
that sometimes pressing shut-down item from the shutdown dialogue deals
no effect (same goes for log out), I either need to do sudo shutdown -h
now from CLI, or go to the switch user screen (since logout doesn't
work) and press shutdown button from there. If on the other side I try
the normal shutdown right away it works as it's supposed to.

Something that appears to trigger the problem at least with visual
effect, is the presence of an intel 945 graphics chipset.
