Compiz doesn't automatically start anymore after gnome 2.30 update

My logs only show this "Apr  1 18:15:26 arch gnome-session[2435]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' failed to register before timeout" error. But i'm pretty sure it always showed that error even before i upgraded today.

Re: Compiz doesn't automatically start anymore after gnome 2.30 update

Is it starting for you when you use "compiz --replace &" in terminal? For me it is, but without emerald, so I don't have any window borders...

EDIT: OMG, when I used Fusion-icon then it started normally... Weird...

EDIT2: I've changed in /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop line where compiz is started from "compiz" to "/usr/bin/compiz ccp" and it's working now.

I've the same issue, but the hint doesn't help. I still get the same error. What does this "ccp" make?

The very worst thing you can do with free software is to download it, see that it doesn't work for some reason, leave it, and tell your friends that it doesn't work.  -  Tuomas Lukka

I had the same error and corrected it by changing it from compiz to fusion-icon...

Yes, fusion-icon is probably the best way to switch windows managers so far.
