I am running hardy on a acer aspire one with 1 GB ram, 120 GB HDD, 1.6 GHz atom processor.
The problem I am having is with the emerald theme engine. After I downloaded and ran fusionbuild to install the latest version of compiz fusion from git for me, emerald stopped working. When I try to grab a window border to move the window, it disappears, like emerald just shut itself off. I have to restart X to get the border to come back, but it disappears again as soon as I click anywhere on the border. I have tried removing and reinstalling emerald with no luck. Running emerald --replace in the terminal does nothing. I have the command set in sessions and window decorator, so it isn't that I missed something on the setup. Everything worked perfectly before using fusionbuild. When I use the normal GTK windows, everything works how its supposed to. Is there a conflict between emerald and the latest version of compiz that I should know about, or is the latest version of emerald just this unstable?
**I just got emerald to work again by removing the newer version of compiz and going with the version in the add/remove program on Hardy. It would still be nice to get it to work with the newer compiz so I can use the deform cube plugin. If any one has an idea, it would be appreciated.
