In order to get around stopping and restarting compiz manually when running applications which use the 3d card, I've started using the script ecschiel provided elsewhere on the forum, which is as follows:
"

if ps -e | grep compiz; then
CHANGE=1
fi
if [ $CHANGE == 1 ]; then
printf "Disabling advanced desktop efects...\n"
/usr/bin/metacity --replace &
fi
printf "Running the game...\n"
$@ &
wait $!
if [ $CHANGE == 1 ]; then
printf "The game is finished. Restoring advanced desktop efects...\n"
/usr/bin/compiz --replace &
fi"
I would like to re-iterate that this work is entirely that of the user ecschiel, see here for more details - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588497
My problem is this - when I use this to launch a programme via the console, I have no problems, but when I use it in the menu, using exactly the same command, it returns the error:
[: 32: ==: unexpected operator
Does anyone have any thoughts on this problem?
Thanks,Chris
