composited desktop-environment error??

[TheDexter1111]

For some reason when i booted up today i got the message:

"You are not running under a composited desktop-environment. The Desktop Art Plugin cannot work without one."

Any Idea what this means or how I can fix it? it has stuffed around with my conky positioning too for some reason...

Im running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 with Gnome DE

when i do a screenfetch is says - 'Finding desktop environment...found as 'GNOME'

I've tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522654
but didn't work for me unfortunately...

any help much appreciated :D

either activate desktop-effects or use gconf-editor to set "/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager" to true

either activate desktop-effects or use gconf-editor to set "/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager" to true

didn't work unfortunately... and funny thing is now, i took rhythmbox off startup apps altogether, and although i no longer get the error message, my conky config is still being affected (which i have to kill and re-launch to fix) and same with my adeskbar... its just annoying now.

the rhythmbox desktop art works fin when i launch rhythmbox, but just want to sort out the glitch when i boot.

edit: error message still coming up
