i had the same problem, but i was able to fix this following this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=655237#p655237 all i had to do was change the Exec line as stated to this: Exec=bash -c 'compiz ccp --sm-client-id $DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID' please update the compiz.desktop file in portage as well.
To fix all existing issues someone will need to make a major version bump and deal with the migration. If nobody is going to take care of all this packages, I would treeclean them
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #3) > To fix all existing issues someone will need to make a major version bump > and deal with the migration. If nobody is going to take care of all this > packages, I would treeclean them I am not understanding one thing, migrate where? Are you referring the compiz 0.9 versions? There are problem with that 0.9 do not have the same set of functionality as 0.8, it lacks a lot! And then there is an updated from April 18th 2017 to 0.8.14 maybe it should be first bumped in version, I made ebuilds and can provide them, and then test if related bugs still relevant? P.S.: My overlay is here: github.com/hashn0n/gentoo-x-local if any one interested to test "my take" on compiz-0.8.14 ebuilds, there is local set called "compiz-0.8.14-local" for anyone to use as a starting point.
Migrate to 0.9.x as it's the only version that looks to be maintained by upstream (and still accepting bugs). 0.8.x looks to me like trying to keep Gnome2 in the tree simply ignoring all its existing bugs and without any upstream taking care of them :/
Other option is to simply keep that new "compiz-reloaded" fork of 0.8 series in your overlay :/
The only "annoyance" is that I made ebuilds in same naming scheme as the old ones and they get masked by this bug and I need to add a lot in package.unmask or rename all of them some how? I just don't know the best course of action. P.S.: Oh and I forgot to mention the author of Compiz-0.8.14: Scott Moreau (blog.northfield.ws)

All of them (except one) had commits within the last year. There are even people committing bug reports, getting a response with a committed fix, like here: https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/compicc/issues/4 Sure, the whole project might not develop to new frontiers but some software might be considered done and working at some point.
To me it seems the situation with Compiz Reloaded 0.8.* vs Compiz 0.9.* is like Gnome 3 vs Mate. We have both in portage as well and with Mate, we are having Gnome2 basically. Compiz 0.8.* was abandoned by the original developers and is now maintained by those calling it Compiz Reloaded. There are multiple custom overlays on Github with the 0.8.14 version. I am a long term user for Compiz on Gentoo but i have never written large sets of Ebuilds or maintained any software written in C. So in terms of maintaining anything, i would love to but probably i am not the person to look for. Still, i am sad to see original Compiz gone from Gentoo while it's still existing, running and maintained. I've updated to 0.8.14 without any flaws. Instead it fixed a couple bugs i had with the version in Portage. Somehow it reminds me to the situation we had with Revelation Password Manager. It was in a similar situation. It was already flagged for removal and at some point a new developer (unrelated to Gentoo) took over and removed old Gnome2 dependencies. That was when Gentoo decided to switch over to the new developers and use their code and that made it possible to keep Revelation in Portage. If this 8 year old bug is still existing, we should report it to the new upstream and look if they can provide a fix. But i think this bug is most likely gone already as we got a completely new Gnome in meantime.
Gone
