Under Ubuntu 9.10, compiz was enabled each time I ran startx. Even
though I disabled it through gnome-appearance-properties. Then I
upgraded to 10.04, and now I have to manually run gnome-appearance-
properties and enable it each time to get a working window manager and
decorations. I'd prefer the
Maybe this is a better way to start compiz (I can't test it right now because
I'm on my mobile).

I've tried so many things and just this seems to work well (beside to

Well, the above only happens when i close a terminal window from where 'compiz
' was issued.
Maybe the OS is just trying to preserve my running apps? not that i have ever
seen this, or closing the terminal would not kill a 'gedit ' for example.

Maybe it is in gnome-session+.compiz?
So you can try

It has happened a second time, where logging off and on seem to fix it again.
If you log off and on, would it then be in the .xsession-errors.old?
If so, then there are a number of things going on and I'm not sure how
to really debug things. I'm getting this message:

Hi Doug, Thanks for helping with the tests.
It is hard to get ultimate conclusions as you have a more complex setting with
awn as well. It may be related to deeper bugs in the same direction, namely
lack of backward compatibility in reading user's home.

@Leo
Yes, correct. My apologies, I misspoke. What I should have wrote is:
What we can be relatively certain of now is that, at a minimum,
something within the $HOME/.config folder is implicated as the source of
the problem, and at a maximum the source does not extend beyond $HOME.

The fix you posted on the other page (Bug #572617) seemed to fix it for me.
Thanks a bunch!
The only issue to those using it: you will loose a lot of settings and you will
have to manually restore them. In this case it wasn't too confusing or tedious.

Leo, thank you... in a way =)
This indeed fixed the problem, so thank you for that.
However, the commands you gave do not move the directories to a

gets erased. Which means, for instance, I've lost all my Chromium

Don't worry :-)
Let's refine the search?
You can set back some of the folders to see which ones are causing the problem.
(For example, ***I am assuming you didn't do anything with the backup folder***
