Description:
When I had updated my Arch today, compiz broke. It seems to be running (I've looked at the processes in Htop) but windows seem to be unmanaged.
There are no decorations as well as no animations, keyboard shortcuts are not working ...
I've run "compiz --replace --debug" from terminal, but no output was shown, nothing interesting in logs (checked everything.log, Xorg.0.log and .xsession-errors).

Downdgrading libcompizconfig to 0.8.4-1 helps.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
ccsm 0.8.4-1
compiz-bcop 0.8.4-1
compiz-core 0.8.4-3
compiz-decorator-gtk 0.8.4-3
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 0.8.6-1
compiz-fusion-plugins-main 0.8.6-1
compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupport 0.8.4-1
compizconfig-python 0.8.4-1
emerald 0.8.4-2
fusion-icon 20091023-1
libcompizconfig 0.8.4-2

* config and/or log files etc.
None.

Steps to reproduce:
Install the latest compiz from repos.

you should really do a proper update

compiz-core,decorator is 0.8.6 in our repos

I have done "pacman -Syu", so I don't know, why did it not update. Maybe it's mirror-sync related.

or maybe you have them in Ignorepkg in pacman.conf

I have the IgnorePkg line commented out. Maybe I should change the mirror, because this one (http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/arch/$repo/os/x86_64) has, in my opinion, issues quite often.

Anyways, I have run pacman -Syu again and got compiz working again.
