Compiz-Fusion Problems

I've decided to try Compiz-Fusion, just for a change.
I want to run it as a standalone WM.
I wrote a script to execute my panel, and fusion-icon, and put it in my .xinitrc.
When I log in via SLiM, x restarts, and boots me back to SLiM.

So I opened up a screen, and tried to start fusion-icon from within X, and I get the following error.

jack@localhost ~ # fusion-icon
 * Detected Session: unknown
 * Searching for installed applications...
 * NVIDIA on Xorg detected, exporting: __GL_YIELD=NOTHING
 * Using the GTK Interface
 * Starting Compiz
 ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/interface_gtk/main.py:214: GtkWarning: GdkWindow 0x1e00003 unexpectedly destroyed
  gtk.main()
fusion-icon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
      after 134 requests (132 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Running fusion-icon as root makes no difference, and google game nothing of worth.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: This is in OpenBox, Compiz-Fusion works fine in GNOME.

Re: Compiz-Fusion Problems

you can't run compiz with openbox togeather since they are both window managers.  Try putting something like

if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
    eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

emerald &

# Start other applications here
# 
# Example: set wallpaper + open a terminal
#
# feh --bg-scale ~/Wallpapers/wallpaper.jpg &
# urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey80 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd &

# Now start something you need all the time, like a panel

(sleep 3 && pypanel)&

xterm &
exec fusion-icon

into your ~/.xinitrc file and run 'startx' from a VC.  That should get you into a standalone compiz session.

Re: Compiz-Fusion Problems

I'm aware of this, but when compiz is started, it is started with the --replace flag, as seen in the original post, I'll try your suggestion though, and report back.

Re: Compiz-Fusion Problems

Well, I've used some of your code, and it seems to have worked.
Would you mind explaining what exactly the if string at the top does?
