I upgraded to compiz 0.5 and it won't start or I'm not starting it properly.

This is what I did and what it says:

thorn@ubunthorn:~$ compiz --replace gconf &
[1] 10875
thorn@ubunthorn:~$ /usr/bin/compiz.real (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/ubuntu.png
inotify_add_watch: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'keybinding'
/usr/bin/compiz: line 475: 10940 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ! ( $COMPIZ $ARGS $PLUGINS >> $OUTPUT 2>> $OUTPUT )
Window manager warning: "" found in configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding "toggle_shaded"

Are packages missing or something? All I did was adding repositories to the package sources and the Update Manager updated compiz for me.

It seems that compiz is running in the background, but metacity is still the active windows manager (that's what the System Monitor tells me).
So I guess that metacity is not replaced because compiz is not properly started? ARGHH!?

I reversed to the original Ubuntu version of compiz and it works fine now.
