[10:36] <smspillaz> coz_: are you running an install of compiz 0.9 atm ?
[10:36] <coz_> smspillaz,   I have it installed
[10:36] <coz_> want me to fire it up?
[10:37] <smspillaz> coz_: I'm just wondering if you hit this issue where menus go underneath other things
[10:37] <coz_> ok its running
[10:37] <smspillaz> but they are still functional, just obscured
[10:38] <coz_> ah not yet no  the only issue I am seeing is that I cannot get into certin plugin settings  like Animations
[10:38] <smspillaz> since I _cannot_ reproduce it (but I've seen it in person on other people's machines) and it's driving me nuts ;-)
[10:38] <coz_> smspillaz,   do you want me to log into Unity for t his?
[10:38] <smspillaz> coz_: it should happen with or without unity
[10:38] <coz_> smspillaz,  yikes
[10:38] <smspillaz> coz_: you're running nvidia right ?
[10:38] <coz_> smspillaz, ok then its not happening here  just the inability to get into a few plugins settings
[10:38] <coz_> yep
[10:39] <smspillaz> coz_: I'll look at the plugin settings soon I guess
[10:39] <smspillaz> coz_: can you try changing the screen resolution and see if your stackign goes out of whack ?
[10:39] <coz_> let me lighten the theme to see if menus are opening up underneathe hold on
[10:39] <coz_> ok
[10:39] <smspillaz> since ISTR this happening on my machine a while ago but I can't reproduce it at the moment
[10:40] <coz_> ok let me change resolutions hold on
[10:40] <smspillaz> thanks
[10:40] <coz_> smspillaz,  no nothing odd ocurring here
[10:40] <smspillaz> urgh
[10:40] <smspillaz> ok
[10:41] <smspillaz> I'm going to send a mail out to triagers then to try and figure out what's going on
[10:41] <coz_> smspillaz,  gee I now  feel bad I cant reproduce this :)
[10:41] <smspillaz> it's worse when you're the one trying to fix the bug that's annoying everyone and you can't reproduce it ;-
[10:41] <smspillaz> ;-)
[10:41] <coz_> smspillaz,  if I see this  start I will immediately let you know  ..
[10:41] <coz_> :)
[10:42] <smspillaz> yeah
[10:42] <smspillaz> I need a reproducable test case though
[10:42] <smspillaz> since the way to reproduce it on other people's machines doesn't work here
[10:42] <spikeb> use other people's machines to fix it!
[10:42] <spikeb> </bright idea>
[10:42] <coz_> smspillaz,  ok I will continue to play with this to see if it happens here
[10:43] <smspillaz> spikeb: unfortunately the time to do that has come and gone ;-)
[10:43] <spikeb> darn
[10:43] <smspillaz> I had a chance to do that at the sprint, but this is when I could reproduce this issue - but I was working on other things
[10:43] <smspillaz> and I thought the bug was trivial :)
[10:43] <coz_> smspillaz,  ooo   damn...ok    well  if it happens I will  let you know
[10:44] <smspillaz> coz_: thanks :)
[10:44] <coz_> smspillaz,   no problem :)
[10:44] <smspillaz> coz_: let me know if you can get a test case from launching compiz to the bug happening
[10:44] <coz_> smspillaz,  will do
[10:46] <smspillaz> :)
[10:50] <smspillaz> coz_: quick heads up - there's a similar looking bug where you trigger a menu to "create" and it doesn't appear till you hover over it. That's a bug in X and has been fixed already, so watch out for the one where the menu appears but you can't interact with it.
[10:51] <coz_> smspillaz,  ok  cool thanks
[10:51] <coz_> making notes of this  :)
[10:51] <smspillaz> :)
[23:42] <kklimonda> bah, unity (or perhaps compiz) really slows games down :/
[23:43] <spikeb> uh oh
[23:43] <spikeb> i was afraid of that
[23:44] <kklimonda> so was I, but it still sucks to confirm that ;)
[23:46] <spikeb> might have to put the 2D version on my mom's computer then, if the slowdown is too drastic. she games
[23:47] <RAOF> kklimonda: Have you tried turning “unredirect fullscreen windows” on?  Without that (a) you'll have the Composite overhead, and (b) output will be sync'd to vblank.
[23:47] <kklimonda> RAOF: thanks, I'll try that.
[23:47] <kklimonda> I thought this option was default already?
[23:48] <RAOF> No; it breaks things.
[23:48] <ion> On my system (with fglrx) anything started from compiz seems to have LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1, which makes them slow even if “unredirect fullscreen windows” is on.
[23:58] <kklimonda> RAOF: ah thanks, it does seem faster now
[23:59] <RAOF> kklimonda: unredirect fullscreen windows should really be on, but it would require X to have some knowledge of *actual* fullscreen windows, rather than windows which just happen to be the same size as the screen.
