First the disclaimer: I'm not a developer, just a simple user.
If Compiz works, but fails after a reboot, try a different displaymanager, or at least display-greeter. I had some problems with arctica-greeter setting up a desktop session which disappeared when i swiched to slick-greeter.
If that doesn't work, try this:
Alerted by your posts, I just installed compiz on my T420 and on my Toshiba craptop
@mymy49 : Although I do not know what the symptoms are that you are experiencing, compiz should work flawlessly on your computer. Did you actually try to install it ?
Since it works (albeit a bit slow) on my crappy 13 year old half-destroyed toshiba which has a E-350 APU with build in Radeon HD 6310, it will probably work on newer, faster and healthier AMD powered computers too, and probably much much better …
And then this:
It certainly is ! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate
Probably because what is called a "race condition".
The start of the panel should be delayed until compiz is up and running.
As a workaround you can automate the restart of the mate-panel, you can create a new item in "startup applications" and use the command "mate-panel --replace", also set the delay at 3 seconds or something like that. This makes sure compiz is ready…
