Title:
Default GNOME fallback session should be "GNOME Classic (no effects)"
(Metacity)
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
0) As for now, default GNOME fallback session called "Gnome Classic" uses
Compiz.
It doesn't work well:
a) frames of some windows suddenly become torn (moving/refreshing helps);
b) if you change the settings of workspace switcher from default working
settings (2x2 'desktops') to something else (e. g., 1x4) and then try to select
another (not current) desktop, you'll get no more than full-screen wallpaper;
to switch back to your workspace, you can launch a terminal (<Ctrl> + <Alt> +
<T>); it reverts to default (2x2) after logout though;
c) <Alt> + <Tab> window switching hotkey is not working;
d) if you want to get the panel context menu, you should use <Super(Win)Key>
+ <Alt> + <RightClick> instead of <Alt> + <RightClick> (not working);
e) its 3D/2D effects doesn't fit the default Ubuntu theme (Ambiance) well
(maybe, Adwaita theme'll help).
1) As a workaround, you can disable (or even remove) Compiz and use
Metacity or simply select "GNOME Classic (no effects)" session at the
login screen.
