I have this problem as well. emerald: emerald version 0.3.0-svn compiz 0.6.1
The problem is that emerald is crashing. Compiz is still running (drags work fine, for example), and the compiz process is still live. If you enter full-screen mode, then exit by using the ctrl-alt method in vmplayer, then emerald dies with the following error: -------------------------------------------------- (emerald:28676): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `(null)' in cast to `GdkDrawable' (emerald:28676): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_cairo_create: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) -------------------------------------------------- Starting a new emerald process fixes the problem. If you leave VMWare fullscreen mode by using the popdown menu on the top, then the vmplayer window loses the buttons on the window decoration for things like minimize/maximize/close.. -- Emerald looses window decoration when starting VMware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
