First, I would like to compliment you all for a great work you put in
developing compiz. I have it running for more that a month and it did
not crash. Stability is very good. Great work!

Today I updated compiz from git tree and found that rotate generates
this error:

compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't activate plugin 'rotate'

Rotate does not function. Any ideas ?

I run gconf backend. Browsing through compiz site I did not find any
guidelines of what is needed to send a bug report. Or I missed it ?
I hoped compiz has some verbose option that could shed some light on why
rotate initialisation fails.

I use --indirect-rendering to avoid nvidia black window bug (somehow it
helps).

compiz --sm-disable --indirect-rendering --replace ccp&!
