Replaced Compiz over Metacity, some messages

I replaced Metacity with Compiz using:

Code:

compiz --replace&

and got my desired results (preferred window decorations etc). However, after the command I got the following:

Code:

******@**-*********-****-*****:~$ compiz --replace&

[1] 3725

******@**-*********-****-*****:~$ Checking for Xgl: not present. 

No whitelisted driver found

aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity 

Window manager warning: Log level 16: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "aurora",

Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x1200016 (tilda)

Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.

I did some google-fu and came up with nothing, most errors were not identical (which is to be understood, not everyone's environment is like mine).

So, I'm wondering if there's an easy fix to this or if someone might know what this is all referring to.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

According to his output, though, it is broke. Based on what he posted, compiz isn't even started, and metacity is being launched instead. I'm not sure what his desired results are, but they presumably don't include running compiz.

I think that the composite part of compiz is working... However emerald is not being loaded and it is defaulting back to metacity. But not real sure.

Code:

No whitelisted driver found

aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

That's pretty clear. Compiz is not starting. Perhaps he's normally using a window manager other than metacity, but metacity is starting and has its own compositing enabled.
