Hello,

If I start Gnome with compiz my window decorations do not appear, but if i open a terminal and restart compiz the window decorations appear and also the effects.
It's like the first time compiz doesn't start.

Yes I did have those options.
It seems that using the gconf-editor start solution wasn't working for me. I use now the start-up solution and it does work.

Thank you!

I've put compiz-manager in the startup application list of gnome.
It's explained in the gentoo wiki.
