This might not be the right place to post, but otherwise I can only find Ubuntu-specific answers.
I'm running compiz 0.8.2 compiled from source on a CLFS system with Gnome 2.26. Logging in from GDM there's a delay of about 5 seconds. .xsession-errors shows
Code:
gnome-session[23195]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' failed to register before timeout
which I guess it means that compiz is not responding to gnome-session to let it know that it loaded, so gnome-session is just idle for 5 seconds.
I've seem some hints to pass --sm-client-id $DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID
but that does't work (I don't even think that variable is set up by gnome-session )
what I can do is pass some of the sessions in ~/.compiz/session as arguments to --sm-client-id and that doesn't complain, but the delay is still there.
compiz.desktop tries to execute compiz ccp.
Anyone saw something similar?
