Recently Compiz Fusion stopped working on my computer (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy). Whenever I tried to re-enable it, a message appeared saying that Visual Effects could not be enabled. I discovered the reason was Metacity compositing had somehow been enabled. I definitely did not enable Metacity compositing, therefore I'm wondering whether an update somehow caused this? Should I file this as a separate bug? This should not have happened.
