[Bug 876198] Re: When switching workspaces with rotate/cube previous Ws contents are momentarily displayed

 

This behavior annoyed me to the point where I finally pulled the oneiric versions of the debs and used --force-downgrade
which incidentally, while not ideal did result in a compiz that behaves like it should.   As a workaround while waiting for a proper fix, it seems to work better than the current packages.

  In the interest of disclosure, I'm not using unity so if you expect
unity to work this isn't the route to go.  Otherwise, dpkg -l | grep
compiz and replace anything with '0.9.6' in the version with it's
oneiric-era '0.9.4' equivalent.  There will be a couple extra '0.9.6'
packages without equivalents (probably due to some package
restructuring) that had to be removed outright (e.g. compiz-plugins-
default, etc.).  Now make sure you also replace 'libdecoration0' (and
'libdecoration0-dev' if appropriate) with their '0.9.4' oneiric
equivalents as well.  Then cross your fingers and reboot.  Pinning these
packages until a proper fix is available is left as an exercise for the
reader.  No guarantees of course, but it's working beautifully for me.
