Same here. I installed (clean install from CD) Tribe 5 and than went
with the updates. After install I enabled the desktop effects (or
whatever is called now) and set to custom. In ccsm I enabled Window
decorations and set the command line to "emerald --replace" and all
worked fine. However, today I updated to the latest version and suddenly
emerald won't start. I also tried from command line with no luck and no
error messages.

But it didn't started with that. The first symptom of something going
wrong was that after starting up the desktop didn't "fit" in the set
resolution (that would be 1152x865) which was set using the new "Screen
and graphics" tool. I mean it didn't fit, it was scrolling when I
reached the screen edges with the mouse pointer. I tried to see what
happened and started "Screen and graphics" and it said that the
resolution is set to 1440xwhatever, I tried to set it back to 1152x865
but it didn't worked. The "Test" button was disabled, after pressing
"OK" (or something) it said that it changed the resolution and if I want
to keep that way, but effectively the resolution was left unchanged.
After a restart the resolution went back to normal (to what I set), but
no luck with emerald.

Can emerald be started in some kind of debug mode, or verbose mode?
Because with no error messages it is quite hard to determine what is
wrong.
