           Summary: simple-ccsm made my account un-usable ...
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Factory
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: GNOME
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: mmeeks@novell.com

I installed strange, wonderful, new radeonhd 3D drivers: tested them, they work
for glxgears.
I run simple-ccsm - and click the "turn on 3D effects" button.

everything breaks, wedges, the whole screen turns white - and I get an
extraordinary cube thing: CPU goes to 100% this is not entirely unexpected ;-)

I kill X, log-out, log-in again: guess what - I get the same brokenness.

Except - now of course I can't run simple-ccsm to un-check the check-box ;-)

Worse : I have no idea what that did to turn on compiz; poking Rodrigo on IRC
reveals:

rm -f ~/.config/compiz/enable-compiz ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager

is what I want to do.

My request is:

please - delay creating these files until there is a 'normal' (ie. clean) exit
from simple-ccsm [ ie. one not caused by Zapping the X server or whatever ].

Also - I guess as rodrigo says - in some corner cases, it may be worth turning
off session auto-save but ...

HTH.
