Did a fresh install from Factory today (I used automatic login). After second stage is completed, it takes me to the Desktop.
I can't move any windows.

mboman@linux:~/Desktop> ps auxwwww|grep -i compiz

I then reboot and I have no window decorator;

mboman@linux:~/Desktop> ps aux|grep -i gtk-window
root      2661  0.2  0.4  18652  9776 ?        S    15:55   0:00 /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator --minimal

mboman    3379  0.0  0.0   3068   776 pts/0    R+   15:57   0:00 grep -i compiz


I then reboot again, and again, I can't move any windows;

mboman@linux:~/Desktop> ps auxwwww|grep -i compiz
root      9831  0.3  0.1   7592  3360 ?        S    15:52   0:00 /usr/bin/compiz --sm-disable decoration fade place
mboman   10395  0.0  0.0   3064   744 pts/0    R+   15:53   0:00 grep -i compiz
mboman@linux:~/Desktop> ps auxwwww|grep -i gtk-window-dec
root      9848  0.2  0.4  18840 10248 ?        Ss   15:52   0:00 /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator
mboman   10427  0.0  0.0   3068   780 pts/0    R+   15:53   0:00 grep -i gtk-window-dec


And after I reboot again, everything is swell and Compiz is turned off;

mboman@linux:~/Desktop> ps aux|grep -i compiz
mboman    3305  0.0  0.0   3064   772 pts/0    R+   16:03   0:00 grep -i compiz
mboman@linux:~/Desktop> ps aux|grep -i gtk-window
root      2656  0.2  0.4  18660  9932 ?        Ss   16:02   0:00 /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator
mboman    3309  0.0  0.0   3068   780 pts/0    S+   16:03   0:00 grep -i gtk-window



The first three times, when Compiz tries to decide whether is should be all on, half on, half off, I get a black background when booting (see attached screenshot). The last time I booted up, the background was green (I guess green indicates All Ok? :-)

The problem was compiz startup from /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup, it is fixed recently by sndirsch.
