Thank you for your feedback. I'm assigning this to gnome-control-center,
as I think that it is the gnome-appearance-properties capplet which
needs updating to take in to account the changes in gnome-session.
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: compiz-fusion-bcop => gnome-control-center
Status: Invalid => Confirmed
** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Invalid
** Summary changed:
- Activating Compiz Fusion does not create a Session entry
+ Compiz has to be started manually on each new session
** Description changed:
** Tags added: regression
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: compiz-fusion-bcop
Steps to reproduce:
1. right click desktop -> Change desktop background -> Visual Effects -> Extra
2. Compiz Fusion is now activated
3. reboot
4. Compiz Fusion is no longer activated because it was not added to Sessions
+
+ Edit by Chris Coulson:
+
+ It appears that gnome-appearance-properties does not set the appropriate
+ GConf keys to change the default window manager. Temporary workaround is
+ to set the keys manually:
+
+ gconftool-2 --set --type=string
/desktop/gnome/session/required-components/windowmanager compiz
+ gconftool-2 --set --type=list --list-type=string
/desktop/gnome/session/default-session
