[Bug 326344] Re: compiz/kwin freezes on login as of xorg-server 1.5.99.902-0ubuntu2

[dlanor78]

The workaround that worked for me with kubuntu was to login with
failsafe and install e16.  Then exit failsafe and login with e16-kde.
This then allowed me to start systemsettings>Desktop>Advanced and
uncheck "Enable direct rendering".  Then apply and log out.  Then log
back into kde with full effects.

I actually tried a bunch of things to get this working, but I believe
what I posted above is what ended up working.  I'm also sure there's a
better way to do this, but I  just needed any functional desktop at
first to check email and stuff and randomly picked e16.  Was just luck
that it had the option of e16-kde for logging in.  I'll try to check
back here later and see if there's any questions about this.
