Comment 76 for bug 328232

Sebastian i don't have a clue what that option means, but it obviously fixed the memory leak bug. By the way this options showed up while I was "working" with python.

When I typed help() in python and than used "modules" command, python started scanning the modules and somehow restarted compiz with this options (probably some kind of bug). All I know that memory got "cleaned" and there was no memory leak anymore.

I am mentioning this because I use Compiz Fusion Icon. It's an application that sits in the notification area and allows you easy access to compiz options etc. There is a checkbox in the popup meny you get when you click on this icon, that allows you to chose Indirect rendering as option for compiz. But it doesn't work. If you choose "Indirect rendering" in this menu, the memory leak was still present. Changing /usr/bin/compiz solved my problem.
