Fw: Compiz install problem

[Adhika Widjaya]

Hi Mandi,

How about starting from a fresh install since you haven't done anything else
beside enabling compiz (CMIIW). Don't do any thing else after you've
finished the fresh install, just tell us whenever you've done it.

Lets see whether we can help you out from that point.

Regards,
Adhika
