Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

As I log in on the ubuntu desktop on my machine, it is in fact gnome-panel that is displayed and metacity window manager that is running. I tried to modify the settings through the compizsettings manager  but I couldn't get it working.
Trying to enable compiz through the terminal returned that:

Backend     : gconf
Integration : true
Profile     : default

compiz (opengl) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (opengl) - Fatal: Software rendering detected
compiz (bailer) - Info: Ensuring a shell for your session
francois@francois-System-Product-Name:~$ Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.


There seems to be a problem with opengl though I have no idea what caused it as I never tried to tweak opengl settings (other than with compiz-settings)...
(PS: the apport-gtk believed that I was running unity (which must be true) but what I really see is gnome-panel)
