Like others, I had carelessly allowed my apt repositories to include Unstable, and the introduction of Gnome 3 packages made my system un-login-able.
Rather than try to fix that, I'd like to just forget about Gnome altogether and run Compiz as the windowmanager. Does anybody have advice about how that can be done? At the current time, the Gnome login screen appears and I've got options for "twm" and "Gnome", and I can run "twm" now (how I'm using system right now). I just want to know the simplest route to have compiz appear there alongside "twm". Here's my angry rant: I'm an old timer, can remember time when "startx" would just call a window manager and start a terminal, before Gnome, KDE, etc existed. I don't want to be bothered anymore by the persistent industrial effort to convert the Linux user experience into a testing environment for cell phones (Gnome3, Unity Desktop, etc, I mean you). If cool Linux systems like Enlightenment DR13 drew you into Linux in the first place, maybe you are like me and really frustrated by the steady effort to eliminate all traces of personality from the Linux desktop. -- Paul E.
