Tracking down mysterious errors. Compiz-Fusion.

[Monster_user]

I am having problems getting Compiz to work correctly. It seems that anytime I try to launch it from a Run dialog box, it seg faults, locking up my entire system.

However, when I run it from a konsole, it works, about 80% of the time.

Closing it, and opening it again causes it to lockup either when looking for "non-power of two support", or "FBconfig".

I am not sure why it is doing this. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled Compiz, emerald, and the restricted Nvidia drivers, in attempting to resolve this issue.

Ooops.

"Segmentation fault."

That is not an exact copy, since it isn't crashing today, but you get the idea.
