No desktop after screen saver with MATE + Compiz

Post by ChibiJon »

Fresh install of Mint MATE 20.1. Switch window manager to Compiz and turn on some eye candy (just Wobbly Windows).

After the screen goes to sleep ("Blank Screen" screen saver kicks in), wiggle the mouse to wake up the screen. The Lock Screen successfully comes up, with password prompt and logo background. Enter password and log back in.

Instead of getting a desktop, just get a black screen with the mouse cursor. Ctrl-Alt-F1 to command prompt and Ctrl-Alt-F7 back to GUI doesn't work, still a black screen with a mouse cursor.

Going into Desktop Settings->Windows and setting the Window Manager back to Marco + Compositing solves the problem, so the issue is Compiz.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a fix or something I'm doing wrong?
