Hi raveit65,

Initially I changed this bug to "invalid", but after reading through the
comments I changed it back to "fix committed", as I hadn't updated the
initial description with what the actual problem was.

The actual problem exposed in this report was that the backends were not
being installed with the correct library suffix. The undefined symbol
errors, however, are not a bug. This is because you are attempting to
load them as compiz plugins directly. Because they are not compiz
plugins, they do not contain the vtable entry point symbol that all
compiz plugins have, hence the error message.

If you wish to change the active backend, you need to adjust
/etc/compizconfig/config and change the value for [gnome_session] from
"backend = gconf" to "backend = $backend" (so long as MATE still exports
DESKTOP_SESSION_ID)

  After installing compiz-0.9.9 revision 3644 on fedora 18+

  In result changing a setting in ccsm doesn't work.
  Compiz start with ugly adwaita windows-decorator in fedora MATE-Desktop and only the wall plugin seems to be working.
  If you need more info let me know.
  
  Thanks for your work
+ 
+ The problem the reporter appears to be describing (from the comments) is
+ that the backends are not installed with the correct lib suffix:
+ 
+ Unfortunately, this configuration installs the compizconfig folder to
+ /usr/lib and not to /usr/lib64
+ 
+ -- Installing: /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libini.so
+ -- Set runtime path of "/usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libini.so" to "/usr/lib"
+ -- Installing: /usr/lib64/libcompizconfig.so.0.0.0
+ -- Up-to-date: /usr/lib64/libcompizconfig.so.0
+ -- Up-to-date: /usr/lib64/libcompizconfig.so
+ 
+ -- Installing: /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgsettings.so
+ -- Set runtime path of "/usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgsettings.so" to "/usr/lib"
+ 
+ (/usr/lib should be /usr/lib64)
