Public bug reported:

I've been trying to activate the plugins "D-Bus" and "Commands" but I
find that on closing CCSM they have not been launched.  Compiz itself
seems to be running OK, and some plugins work.

Although on checking (selecting) the plugins and closing the CCSM window
has now disappeared CCSM itself cannot then relaunch in the normal way.
A zombie CCSM window is made visible by running ccsm from terminal, but
it is non-responsive. The only option is to killall ccsm and then
relaunch. At this point the selected plugins are now unchecked.

I believe that sometimes previously, CCSM has itself crashed, but also
leaving the plugins unchecked on relaunch.

I am trying to run D-Bus and Commands as a workaround for the broken
'Window Group' functionality in the Scale plugin, since a specific
command has been provided to address this issue, but relies on these
other two plugins.

I'm running Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 from a clean install, so should be
fairly representative of Ubuntu packages, and there's no Unity
interference.
