Public bug reported:

I'm trying to combine LXDE with Compiz starting with an ubuntu-minimal
build, and relying on dependency declarations to ensure I am getting the
right packages. However compiz always crashes when I try to launch it as
a replacement window manager with the attached crash log (from screen).

Most likely there's a dependency which is satisfied by a typical Gnome
or Lubuntu build, but which isn't satisfied by this minimal one.

The target machine is a Compaq Presario 700 as described here http
://notebook-review-weblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/02/compaq-
presario-700.html if you think system resources might be an issue. I
have 640Meg memory installed.

The steps I'm following are roughly...

Install ubuntu-minimal lxde compiz compiz-gnome fusion-icon metacity-
themes compizconfig-settings-manager docky kupfer

Launch CompizConfigSettingsManager and configure the window decoration with the following command line...
gtk-window-decorator --replace --metacity-theme OutlineFruity

This is an experimental machine, so I'm free to try most things if you
have a clue what can be attempted. Once I've figured the combination
out, I should be able to install it on quite a few low-power notebooks,
with Kupfer and Cairo or Docky for system dock functions as a minimal
alternative to Unity.
