Compiz with xfce 4 issue on fedora 15

[zentio]

I installed compiz as well xfce as I do not like gnome 3. The main reason I need compizt is the nice Negative plugin which makes everything invert color so bascially I get dark theme as I cannot stand white or bright colors.

I am able to launch compiz ( via fusion-icon) and I get all the effects and everthing work file. But the problem starst when I log off or reboot. Afte log back in, windows have missing panels or it hangs up once I try to do something. Bascially I cannot do anything. I tried to follow instructions given here:

http://inspirated.com/2009/10/17/how...-the-right-way

but it did not help either.

Does any one know solution to this problem as I spend quite some time on this but failed to make it work.

You could try kill or cure

su
yum --enablerepo=u*g update compiz*

If it works you can leave feedback here

Can you give some information regarding what this command does ?

It instructs yum to enable all repos beginning with 'u' and ending with 'g', then to update compiz from those repos.

Thanks for this info. What are the repos that starts with u and end with g? Are they part repos that comes standard with fedora 15?

u*g = updates-testing repo
