I tried to do this as well, as I initially thought it might have something to do with metacity, but I can't seem to switch window managers: the Appearance setting program does not have the fourth tab that it used to have (Effects or something similar). Has this choice been moved to another settings program, or does the program simply not offer the choice if there is nothing to choose (as stated earlier, my system has a limited graphics driver).
I tried manually doing it from the command line by running "compiz --replace" but that basically got me one single workspace to work on (I probably need to configure more workspaces in the Compiz settings system), but then it crashed on me with a segmentation fault, leaving me window-manager-less. Because the input focus did not work any longer, I had to run "metacity --display :0" from a console terminal to get the session working again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778083 Title: Switching workspaces does not always redraw everything necessary -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
