With the desktop file I just checked in: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-shell/commit/?id=544a80fc6ea0afd2ce2a020f5e7a33f95b4a114f it should work to do simply: ln -s ~/gnome-shell/install/share/applications/gnome-desktop ~/.config/autostart (remove the symlink to go back to a normal GNOME session.) Plan here long-term is to have a GUI switching tool. (Probably by editing the GConf keys rather doing the above.) I'm going to patch the Fedora tool "desktop-effects" to do this, but we'll have to sort something out more generally for GNOME, since every distro is doing its own thing right now for switching between Compiz and Metacity. - Owen _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
