I added my girlfriend as another user on my Ubuntu 9.04.
My account has wor<ing compiz, rotating cube, and all the cool stuff. My problem is....

When I try to activate the highest level of visual effects in the "Appearance" menu, it will not let me do it. I just cant get her des<top environment to do the same things that mine does.
All of the same Apps. and programs are on her account.

Does your GF have the same setup because you copied all of your files to her directory?

Did you change the ownership of those files/folders to her account so that she is allowed to write configuration changes?

Assuming her login is "mygf":

sudo chown -R mygf:mygf /home/mygf
