I'm personally not aware what portion of compiz or unity failed. i would suggest you try to reproduce the bug and see for yourself. To give you some bit of information, I did: $ Xephyr :8 $ ps axww | sort > /tmp/out.1 $ DISPLAY=:8 compiz $ ps axww | sort > /tmp/out.2 $ diff /tmp/out.1 /tmp/out.2
Cleaning the un-related differences, I see: - 1644 tty8 Ss+ 0:11 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-4XTgXB/database -nolisten tcp + 1644 tty8 Rs+ 0:14 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-4XTgXB/database -nolisten tcp - 2082 ?

Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/indicator-applet/indicator-applet-complete In this case, the gnome-panel got launched on compiz exit. Previously, I don't think it had. So thats why the additional panel related processes. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/740972 Title: running compiz in Xephyr kills compiz -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
