This is really odd. Because in Suse I could have compiz on and still
have rotating rgl plots. I did have kde in suse and now gnome in ubuntu
but I wouldn't have thought that would make the difference. It must be a
ubuntu thing. Very odd.

Hello all,
I've switched over my OS to ubuntu from Suse 10.3. In suse I was able
to load up the 'rgl' library in R and then move my plots around after
I had plotted them. Which I assumed was part of the openGL. However,
since switching to ubuntu I am unable to 'move' my plot around, they
are just static plots. :( I have done some things differently such as
install R from the .tar.gz instead of rpm. The rgl package doens't
complain when I install it. Is there something I'm overlooking? Same
laptop same graphics card?
This is a bug in Ubuntu/compiz. This message
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/130549.html
describes a workaround; there are probably other messages with more
detail if you search the Ubuntu forums.
