Hi Klaus

Yes I have had Unity 3D working in Oneiric Beta. I think are are plenty of
problems related to the Unity Plugin. It seems though to be a bit more
stable after the latest Beta 2 updates have come through and been applied.
Sometimes I have started CCSM, switched on say, Window Decorations or the
Desktop Cube and have then tried to resolve plugin conflicts. This is the
point where the system reports a Compiz crash.

I think the best strategy is to uncheck the Unity Plugin in CCSM, switch on
the effects you want, resolve any conflicts and then switch on the Unity
Plugin again. Sometimes  an attempt to start Gnome 3 instead of Unity 3D
results in the Unity Plugin unchecking itself and then you have to start the
whole thing once more from the beginning. This whole idea of the Unity
Desktop being so dependent on a Compiz Plugin is not a wonderful idea IHMO.
The thing is still fundamentally broken sadly.
Gnome 3 will not run properly at all on my system even if gnome-shell is
installed in its latest incarnation.

On another subject entirely to you have a relative called Werner Reichl in
Vienna? He runs a training centre here in Vienna  and does Linux training
there.

MfG,

Best regards

Jack
