Hi,

for some reason I do not get compiz-fusion running with xfce. I
installed from portage tree and not from xeffects overlay. I want to use
emerald as window decorator. Therefore I added in ccsm under "window
decorations -> command" emerald --replace. Using "compiz-start" seems to
start compiz, but not emerald, since I do not get window frames. I also
tried a small start script:

#!/bin/bash
compiz --replace &
sleep 5
emerald --replace

This does not work, too!

Any ideas how to get xfce and compiz running together?

By the way, I was using compiz from the xeffects overlay, starting it
fusion-icon, which worked fine. But after upgrading to portage tree
compiz, there is no fusion-icon anymore.

Regards,
Marc
