[Bug 579046] [NEW] emerald hangs after lucid upgrade

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This bug is also manifested in other ways, but this is by far the most noticeable.
It probably is not a DRI issue, since update5 fixed the disabled DRI from update3.
I am not quite sure what exactly is wrong, but ever since I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid, desktop effects took a dive, and the system reverted to using metacity. (in other words, this could be seen as a regression, since it worked fine it Karmic)
compiz --replace flickers for about half a second and "tries" to do something, but I am left with no window borders, and then the screen reverts back to metacity about another half-second or so later. This is what pointed me to check directly with emerald.
emerald --replace does not do anything, it just hangs there. No output, no information whatsoever, no trace of anything in the logs.
Running emerald by itself with no other WM already running results in the same behavior, so I can't blame metacity for this.

Arguably, this could also be a bug against emerald, since it does not
"do anything" but that's a judgment I don't feel qualified to make.
