Hello,
I am attempting to install and run compriz and xgl for ubuntu 6.06. I am following the tutorial found here: http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916
I have gotten down to the last step on the first page, but when it says to make the text file, I do not know what it means to "Throw this little passage in ~/.Xsession (and create if necessary):". Also, I am not sure how to "make sure it's +x'd/executable with chmod +x ~/.Xsession". Can someone tell me the code that would go into the terminal for this? Thank you. I am new at linux, and am trying to get oriented.
Thank you for your time.

It's telling you to edit or create a hidden file named Xsession in your home directory and place the noted text into that file.

"~" in Linux indicates the path to your home directory (kinda like shorthand)

Any file name with a "." in front of it is a hidden file.

Making a file executable simply requires issuing the command "chmod +x <filename>"
