How start compiz automatically?

[christian.convey]

I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, and I've installed the legacy, closed-source ATI graphics driver. I've also installed compiz and ccsm.

What's the best way to have compiz automatically running when I log into my desktop environment (currently Gnome Classic)?

As things currently stand, each time I log in I have to go to a terminal and manually run "compiz --replace &". I'd like to not have to do that.

You have installed the compiz settings manager?

Yup, I've installed CCSM.

Go to the menu entry for "Startup applications" and add the command
compiz --replace there.

Thanks. That sounds like a decent solution, but is there a well-known approach that causes "compiz" to run from the get-go, rather than having to replace whatever it is that it replaces? I would expect that to result in smoother graphics during login.

Don't you have the the 2 sessions at login...
# Gnome Classic....uses compiz
and
# Gnome Classic (No Effects)....uses metacity
