 summary "compiz-decorator script fails to parse XDG_CONFIG_DIRS"

As was the case in the compiz wrapper before the 0.7.8-0ubuntu1 upload,
the compiz-decorator script fails to properly parse the colon-separated
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS variable - it assumes a single path in it. Edubuntu and
UbuntuStudio now have a colon-delimited list in there, so this will
break loading the settings on those variants.

This is less of a problem for compiz-decorator than for compiz since the
default values in the compiz-decorator script correspond to the correct
locations.

The fix you mention in compiz-wrapper 0.7.8-0ubuntu1 was actually reverted by syncing with upstream 0.7.8-0ubuntu9. The bzr change can be seen here:

I've attached a debdiff that restores it to compiz-wrapper and adds it to compiz-decorator. Of course, as this illustrates, getting it changed upstream would be the right thing to do

The compiz-wrapper fix was re-added in 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 however nothing was added for compiz-decorator.

If I've time I'll either add compiz-decorator to the existing patch or make a copy of it for compiz-decorator.
