Description wofgdkncxojef 2017-09-20 12:08:39 CDT

When twin is replaced by compiz from official repos (ubuntu 16.04), something called compton-tde remains and messes up compiz.

If you do a "killall compton-tde", and then launch compiz, it works ok.
If you change something in the configuration, compton-tde disappears, i don't know what it was though.

Compiz should work out of the box, IMHO.
At the very least, the default config, should not be using compton-tde.

compton-tde is the "trinity window composition manager"
it seams it's active by default...
you can deactivate it in:
trinity control center > Desktop > window behavior > translucency

So... i think by default this should be deactivated, until twin behaves properly when replaced.

To clarify.

This is a general bug.
twin doesn't properly respect --replace from other
window managers. compton-tde remains as a process
and the user is left with no WM. This happens with
compositing enabled (the default config). This also
means, that compiz, is broken out of the box in trinity.

This looks too much like a hack....
To have twin spawn an other process seams bug prone.

At the very least, the default configuration
of trinity should not be with compositing. And also
have a warning in the control center if the user
tries to activate compositing. I'm proposing this
change for R14.0.6 .This requires less work then a proper fix.

possible real solution for R14.1 is to properly
merge them in a single process.
(and add back compositing as the default)

Keep it in R14.1.0 bug list.
