While trying to find a work-around for my previous bug (11033), I noticed that disabling Compiz for the time while the Wine fullscreen app runs, fixes the problem. So I can do "metacity --replace" and then run the wine app and it will exit normally. After that I can restart compiz and everything is ok. But I can only do this once per session, because after that, I cannot get Metacity to run, because after starting it, Compiz seems to respawn and replace Metacity instantly. Look at this: nx@enigma:~$ ps -ax | grep compiz Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html 5818 ? SL 0:50 compiz glib gconf nx@enigma:~$ kill 5818 nx@enigma:~$ ps -ax | grep compiz Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html 5818 ? Z 0:50 [compiz] <defunct> nx@enigma:~$ kill -9 5818 & metacity => metacity runs nx@enigma:~$ compiz --replace glib gconf => compiz runs nx@enigma:~$ ps -ax | grep compiz Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?

SL 0:00 compiz --replace glib gconf It would really help me in regard to my previous bug, if I could run and replace compiz and metacity as often as I wish. Anyway, the current behaviour is very irritating. Also, why do I get the "[compiz] <defunct>" processes?
