Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I just tried re-enabling desktop effects after compiz and compiz-gnome got uninstalled (due to a Breaks: in metacity) and Appearance Properties just hangs at the 'Keep Settings' dialog. Looking at LP:159996 there seems to be a check for /usr/bin/compiz, but that file is provided by compiz-core nowadays, which alone seems to not be enough for running compiz.

I guess updating the check in Appearance Properties should be enough.

compiz-gnome version 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu15 is in the archives now (also see LP:559054). I assume this resolved the Breaks in metacity. IMHO there should be a script (or lock) on the servers which prevents such problems.

Bugfix branch pushed and ready for review. Upload of compiz-gnome alone does not fix this bug (think of systems which have compiz-core installed, but are lacking both compiz and compiz-gnome, just like my system right now).

Just gave compiz-gnome 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu15 a try. Now effects are enabled as they are supposed to be, but gnome-appearance-properties still hangs.

summary:

- Appearance Properties hangs on Keep Settings dialog without
- compiz(-gnome) installed
+ Appearance Properties hangs on Keep Settings dialog

the change seems hackish too, if the compiz binary is not working it's a bug in the compiz depends, the binary when installed should be usable
