command line for Compiz XFCE Emerald


To make the windows and effects work properly in XFCE, I need to start Compiz XFCE Emerald on boot, or on log in.

In Applications>Settings>Session and Startup> I think I can set this, but I don't know the command line for starting Compiz XFCE Emerald.

Could one of you help me out here please?

Try putting
Code:
fusion-icon
in the command part. I haven't used compiz in a while, but I think that should do the trick.

Thanks, but I think I solved the problem:

Start Compiz XFCE Emerald, then, in Applications>Settings>Session and Startup the first tab is 'General'. It has a tick-box 'automatically save session on logout' That was not ticked. Now everything starts and works fine!

I like XFCE, it has some cool effects.
