I had this same problem. I checked into it and it turned out it was because I had been running emerald before I upgraded and the old emerald config's were lying around in my home folder, but I didn't reinstall emerald. So it tried to start it each time it booted.
I removed it from my startup programs list and added this: "compiz --replace" in its place. This'll work if you're only using gnome. If you have KDE (or other), you'll need to have it check to see if you're running gnome or KDE and start compiz only if you're using gnome. I wrote a simple script to do this (attached). ** Attachment added: "Detects session manager (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc) and starts compiz only if Gnome is running." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47318392/start.sh -- Must reenable desktop effects with every restart in ubuntu 10.04 lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563161 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
