Hi, right now I have metacity as default window manager and I activate
compiz doing "compiz --replace" at gnome start... Is there a way to use
compiz instead of metacity as default window manager? I mean without
using "compiz --replace". Thanks. By the way Ihave Debian Lenny.

Mmm I only encountered minor problems loading "tilda" (sometimes does
not load correctly) and "alltray" does not work at all (it loads but
does nothing else).

If you save your GNOME session after starting compiz, then it will be
your window manager the next time you log in.

A related question - I have an Nvidia FX 5200 video card, and I have managed
to get
compiz to work off and on, but it usually will die or crash the x server,
and that was under
Etch (on an Athlon 1ghz machine).

I've gotten beryl to work on occasion, but not reliably, and it usually
fails with "not compatible window
manager" messages.

I've done an upgrade to lenny (last week) but not a dist-upgrade because
there are problems (as it attempts to want to remove KDE), and so I have
that on hold for now.

In migrating from etch to lenny, there seems to be a different repository
for the lenny beryl/compiz packages (I have an Italian site in my
sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.it.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

and it doesn't find a new package for compiz (as of a few days ago), and
when I last tried compiz --replace,
I get an all-white screen and I have to kill the x-window server and restart
X.
