It cannot load emerald anymore
I think that Compiz is supposed to launch it (I don't remember where though).
Also when the wmanager crashes, will it automatically reload the window manager?
nope, at the moment you have to click on the icon if it happens (and report the bug to Compiz  )
you should really start Compiz on startup from the usual way (eg, in the applications list on startup) |

emerald -replace
or
emerald --replace?
Whichever, it does not work. When compiz starts, it cannot load any of the plugin effects and does not load emerald. Then if I go in konsole and load emerald myself, it works, but I still got no plugin effects from compiz, even if I start it up manually by "compiz --replace".
I don't know how the old compiz-icon applet was handling this, but it was just perfect for me and now I have headaches trying to find another way to get compiz fully loaded. If something's wrong with my system, the old applet was smart enough to fix it like a charm. loll 
Option 1, I spend hours trying to find another way to get compiz loaded.
Option 2 is to wait for opensuse 12.1 in november and use KWin if I have issues with compiz. So I won't do any CD update until then.  I will only test the stupid not-CD's-fault-2-sec-per-refresh clock issue with opensuse 11.4 (and maybe 12.1 I don't know yet). loll
BTW mattbe, the new msgs for missing packages during the compilation is great, it's easier to see and read, though the names can of course be distro dependent, but hey it's a great start! I think it's important for these msgs to remain there during the compilation. |

Interesting... it doesn't crash anymore, it should have by now... well I'll have to test more.
mattbe or fabounet, can you tell me the bzr command to download from bzr an EARLIER version? I would like to know the last plug-in/core version with the OLD compiz-icon applet. This way I can test the new applet in my production suse installation and if I have problems I can bzr back to the last version of the old applet.
One other question, if I have an uncompiled version of the old applet/plug-ins/core in my build folders, I guess I can keep a backup of these folders and I can recompile from them?
tnx!!! |

On a new directory, launch a command like this one: bzr checkout --lightweight -r 1900 lp:cairo-dock-plug-ins
Then: cd cairo-dock-plug-ins
mkdir build
cd build
cmake (...)
cd compiz-icon
make
sudo make install |

by the way, you can enter this command in the CompositeManager applet's config |
