Deformation of the cube stopped functioning

[bp1509]

Well issue is fixed by migrating to another user account. Issue was never fixed but I guess this will do

That's definitely weird. If you ever figure out what happened and how to fix it, would you mind posting back here in case someone else has the issue and is searching for an answer?

Thanks.

Hi!
I'm new to the forum, but i managed to solve similar problem.

I just used howto about removing compiz along with configuration:

Just do the part about removing config files.
I deleted all .gconf and .gconfd folders and lost all settings in gnome, so be carefull

Got it

I had exactly the same problem. It worked when I removed .gconf, but I wanted to know exactly what the problem was. After testing settings one-by-one, I can reveal the problem...

apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop

It tells Nautilus whether to manage the desktop. If you have it disabled, cube deformation simply won't work.

Alt+F2 to run gconf-editor, navigate to the key above, and place a tick next to show_desktop.

After enabling it again you need to Alt+F2 again, and run "nautilus". This will cause all those icons cluttering your desktop to re-appear, but at least compiz should be working

Update...

It isn't necessary to turn on Nautilus if you enable the Compiz "Wallpaper" plugin. Thanks to coz in #compiz-fusion for leading me to discover this

I had the same problem and going into the gconf-editor and found the nautilus in the apps menu, turned on the show desktop and it worked again. Thanks.
