Linux Mint 10 LXDE, I don't know how to start Compiz Fusion.
Hello friends. As I said in the title I can't get compiz fusion working with the LXDE environment, I already have installed everything I need. I don't know why but when I installed Mint with the GNOME environment I already had my compiz working there even from inside the Live CD, yes I could enable the desktop effects while I was installing it, now I wanted something a bit more challeging so I installed this system. But I've found nothing that allow me to get compiz working, I also wanted to ask for how to get it running from the start up of every session.
In advance thank you for your help and your patience with this newbie...
Thank you andrewthomas for your answer I had compiz working before I found you had answered me but not the startup.
Now I'm going to use as a background, videos with a little software called xwinwrap. How can I put that one on the startup? I'll give you more info of that program if you need it in a while
Thanks again.
One more thing, I can't find the way to run, execute a shell.bash script with this system, basically what I can't do is run the script with the shell stuff, I can't asign to the script to be opened with the bash that can be found at ---> /bin. I don't know if I am clear enough explaining this sort of stuff please help someway!!

Yes, I have all of that already done. I've also installed nautilus and nautilus scripts manager, something that it needs but it tells me that it's not possible to execute the program 'cause it can't be found. From the terminal I can access to /Documents, that's where I have the folder with the software located, the whole path is "/home/username/Documents/121238-EscritorioAnimadoV0.9/Debian/Spanish Version" and I can access to that folder graphicaly but with the terminal I can't and I can't access the scripts within there...WHY?!
Sorry, I know that I'm a pain in the butt, I don't depend on this to survive I know that too...but if I could do it with GNOME why not with LXDE?
Thank you again for your support and time.

Reason: Wrong typing.

Post the output of
Code:
ls -al ~/Documents/121238-EscritorioAnimadoV0.9/Debian/Spanish Version
It has to be a permissions issue.
Have you opened up nautilus as root and saved some files?
Thank you andrewthomas for your answer again, by the way I had fixed that before you told me, I also had to install some stuff of the GNOME environment to can manage the permissions correctly with this program.
What I cannot do still is the startup working, like you told me before I created the autostart file but I also created the lxde folder inside .config/lxsessions., within the lxsessions folder I could only find a folder called Mint with the file desktop.conf which contains the following:
Like you see there's nothing in there (well, at least for me) that points to a solution with the autostart so I created the lxde folder that I mentioned before and there is where I made the autostart file this is the content of autostart: @/home/.EscritorioAnimado/EscritorioAnimadoInicio.sh.
What did I do wrong? I mean what's up next?
Thank you a lot for helping me out with this I really appreciate your focusing on this problem of mine.
Now I've found the solution. What I had to do was edit the autostart file located @ /etc/xdg/lxsessions/Mint, at the end of the list when you edit that file you should paste or type the path to the script or software that you want to add, then when you restart the system you'll have that new application running from the moment when you login.
Thank you very much andrewthomas for your time and support. This thread is now maked as SOLVED.
Good luck everyone, have a good time.
