when starting blender 2.46 rc3 with compiz enabled the screen does not update properly. background shines through, wrong colours (see screenshot)
there is no problem when starting without compiz
compiz --version says

Checking for nVidia: not present.

Please mention exactly which build you got for 2.46 rc 3, and graphicall. Also, you can test if other OpenGL applications work with Compiz on your computer, this could be a driver problem.
i used blender-2.46-RC3-linux-glibc236-py25-i386.tar.bz2 from download.blender.org (display problems) and the i386 version (2008-05-03 15:29:50 rev 14668) (no display problems)
you're right about compiz. it's pretty buggy .. err .. beta .. err .. work in progress. ;-)
but the strange thing is, that the graphicall build is running without the problem.
using compiz on ubuntu hardy 8.04 works perfectly here so this is either a bug in an older compiz or a driver bug.
Either way, better to test with a newer release of compiz and file a bug to ubuntu/compiz or your the driver developers and link to this report.
This is a generic request to test your bug report and see if it is still an issue in 2.5alpha2 if so please let me know by making a comment in this report ie 'also in 2.5alpha2' and I will add it to the 2.5 bug list.
