minor trouble with compiz - solveable :)
 
---edit---
this has been solved - see last edit
---edit---


I'm a very happy compiz user, but I have to choose between two minor problems:

One: I can't configure compiz with gset-compiz, when I use this startscript:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
killall gnome-window-decorator
wait
DISPLAY=:1 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/share/fglrx/diversions/libGL.so.1.2 compiz --replace decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place menu switcher transset trailfocus water &
gnome-window-decorator &

Everything works, but the wobbling is pretty extreme (that's what I'd need gset-compiz for)

Second: When I watch fullscreen videos, I get a line from the top left to the bottom right corner of the screen, it only appears when something is moving, + performence problems. Gset-compiz works though:

Code:

## from Ubunutu - Wiki:

#!/bin/sh
killall cgwd
wait

cgwd &
compiz --replace gconf &


## from blog

#    #!/bin/sh
#    killall gnome-window-decorator
#    wait
#
#    gnome-window-decorator &
#    compiz --replace gconf &

cgwd seems to do the same as gnome-window-decorator. - same result.




ideas?

Mind that my scripting - ability is limited to copy and paste. :)

And while you're at it...
What's the difference in saving a script in /usr/bin/ opposed to /usr/local/bin/ ?


---edit---
apparently it has something to do with gconf. That's why it works if I load all the plugins "manually", and That's why gset-compiz won't work.
I have no idea what I could have set in gconf that screws with the video display. Maybe I'll have to reset.
(If someone knows how to reset gconf, that would be good too :))


---edit---
solved.

On the first page of gset-compiz there's an option "unredirect fullscreen" I unchecked it - now it works.
Just out of curiosity, if anyone knows what it does...
