Do I need to use "gnome-session-properties" to add compiz start script and AWN?
Thanks, |

| You can add it in your Sessions' Startup programs, write a script to autostart it when you login or use fusion-icon, which will do it for you. I personally use fusion-icon, which is in the desktop-effects overlay. |

Use the following for your /usr/bin/gnome-wm. It is actually a 3-line modification of the original file.
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
# The user can specify his prefered WM by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER
# environment variable.
#
# If this is not set, we search a list of known windowmanagers and use
# the first one that is found in the users's PATH
#
# sm-client-id value
SMID=
# default-wm value
DEFWM=
#read in the arguments
GET=
for n in "$@" ; do
case "$GET" in
smid)
SMID=$n
GET=
;;
defwm)
DEFWM=$n
GET=
;;
*)
case "$n" in
--sm-client-id)
GET=smid
;;
--default-wm)
GET=defwm

esac

esac

# WINDOW_MANAGER overrides all
WINDOW_MANAGER="compiz"
if [ -z "$WINDOW_MANAGER" ] ; then
# Create a list of window manager we can handle, trying to only use the
# compositing ones when it makes sense

IS_X_COMPOSITED=$?
KNOWN_WM="sawfish sawmill enlightenment icewm wmaker fvwm2 qvwm fvwm twm kwm"

# metacity is still the default wm in GNOME
KNOWN_WM="metacity $KNOWN_WM"
OLDIFS=$IFS

If I remember correctly it will add itself to your gnome session automatically once you start it. |
