Thanks!!
I was not able to start AWN. After configuring and enabling the
Compositing manager, it worked. However, then my visual Effects stopped

If I need to revert the command in Terminal what do I have to do?
The command was:
From a terminal, run (without quotes) gconftool-2 --set

okay.. that didn't really fix things for me.. well, maybe it fixed about
50% of the problem.
I tried qetuR's method, checked the box, removed my workaround to force-
start compiz at startup, and then restarted my computer. I suppose
metacity's compositing manager started properly, or at least it

I should note that the Visual Effects tab is not affected by switching
Metacity's compositing manager on or off, as it is a Compiz-centric
preferences pane.
Also, FWIW, it's called Avant WIndow Navigator, not Avant Windows
Manager.

Sigh. Sticky Shift key. Avant Window Navigator, also abbreviated
Awn.

Had the same problem, and should it not be enough to just try to fix the
compositing manager?
If you run Gnome, your default window-manager is Metacity, right? On
this link: http://wiki.awn-

Actually, this warning is a normal behavior of Awn. The goal is to warn
the user that there is a problem in his configuration.

well you are right julien for some reason in the update process the
avant-window-navigator add a extra launch in system - preference -
startup aplicacions i delete that extra launch and all fine so i have a
question why don't say awn is already started..
now you can close the issue

I think it's because the avant-window-navigator start before compiz. I
guess you try to autostart avant-window-navigator. Do you add it
manually or using the option in the manager ?
