           Summary: Compiz 8.2 Cannot be Set as Default WM in Control
                    Center - Crashes and Reverts to kwin
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_componentchooser
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: drankinatty at suddenlinkmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

        Compiz Fusion works fine on my laptop with kde 4.2.95-1 when started
with FusionIcon, but I cannot configure the control center setting of:

Personal -> Default Applications -> Window Manager -> Use a different window
manager:

        Compiz custom (create wrapper script.....
  or
        Compiz

        The error message says the window manager failed to start reverting to
kwin...

        Now compiz runs just fine on kde 4.3 (4.2.95-1) when started with
FusionIcon, so it isn't a hardware/xorg issue. What needs to be fixed so that
the Default Application can be set to compiz? 

        Unless the default application can be set to compiz on kde start, the
pager application (among others) is broken until plasma desktop crashes and
restarts, then pager works, but won't unless compiz is the default WM)

        Further, there seems to be some regression between kde 4.2.91 and
4.2.95 concerning konqueror and the use of this bug page
(https://bugs.kde.org/wizard.cgi). None of the drop-down menus like the KDE
Version and Distribution Method can be opened when compiz is running unless you
put the cursor over the drop-down, scroll the items with the mouse-wheel and
then click with button-1. I don't recall this happening with 4.2.91.

        Let me know if I can provide any additional information. Thanks.
