    anyone managed to sort this yet
    thanks

    I ended up going back to the LTS and it works great once again, but the only problem is you cannot have conky,
    as show_desktop has to be enabled so I don't use the wallpaper plugin.

    But, that is a good question on Maverick.

    The last link in your signature [if meant anything] is not working. It would be great if you update the same with correct link to video, web page etc.

    I hadn't seen this post before today, is there a link in my sig. that doesn't work? They always have worked for me.

    I meant
    Lucid Lynx 64 bit / Win 7 64 bit
    . Is it not a comparison of these OSs?
    How can I use a signature in forums?

    That is just text displaying my OSs beside the 3 links.

    I guess I should note that in 10.10 32-bit, I have the wallpaper plugin working, but only for CompizStandalone and only if I don't have my external monitor attached on login. The trick was to set a 7-second delay after Compiz starts before any other startup application or service starts.

    It can be fixed while running, under Gnome or whatever else, by switching to a VT and back, and it'll go on working for the rest of the session, regardless of what you do.
    I know I shouldn't use tildes for decoration, but they always make me feel at home~

    Something cute for Ubuntu 11.04 (Unity desktop)?
    Sublets and others seem to not work here.

    hello allz just to add to what cgkades said on page 3 i think it was.

    there is a way to auto start emerald, and I'm surprised no one has posted about it yet. in the ccsm, you can click on "window decorations" and change the line from "/usr/bin/compiz-decorator" to "/usr/bin/emerald --replace"
    if for some resin you did what to install ccsm or any of the compiz stuff, you can still get emerald to auto star by doing the fallowing.

    go to system/preferences/startup applications
    click add and enter the fallowing for
    name : emerald
    command : emerald --replace
    comment : starts emerald

    After 367,202 views this guide has served its purpose, and after agreement with Jpeddicord it has now been put to rest. Thanks to everybody participating.

    A new guide on the same topic is available here:
