[Bug 944653] Re: compiz crashed on startup with SIGSEGV in strstr() from GLScreen::GLScreen()

 

Thanks Timo! I tried the ppa and updated compiz; indeed the crash is
fixed however the decorator doesn't seem to work when I run kernel
3.2.0-30 or newer.

I don't think this is any worse that the previous version of compiz
though, in which case I got a crash with the same kernels (with kernel
3.2.0-29 both the old and the new compiz work fine for me by the way).

So I have to ask, what changed between kernel 3.2.0-29 and 3.2.0-30 that
causes compiz to either crash, or after this fix, causes the decorator
to not do anything? I even tried compiz-decorator --replace, it finds
and says it starts /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator but to no effect, all
windows I launch are still borderless and the desktop cube is not
rotating (I can't switch to other workspaces).

Am I hitting some other bug? Any pointers welcome!
