Emerald does not start at login (Gnome)

Hi, I've just installed Arch Linux and added Gnome. I installed compiz-fusion and Emerald, and added these two entries in the Session startup programs:

fusion-icon
emerald --replace

The fusion icon works fine but emerald does not start. I have to enter emerald --replace in a terminal for it to launch. After I do it, everything just works fine. What am I doing wrong...

fusion icon should launch it on it's own..

Okay it's weird, now I have removed the emerald --replace at startup, and I have to do a "Reload Window Manager" from the compiz-fusion icon. But hey it works, its just a little annoying.

Hi, I had the same problem. For me changing "windowmanager" from "metacity" to "compiz" in gconf solved it. You find the relevant entry under desktop -> gnome -> session -> required_components

I was having the same problem and this solution works fine. Is this a bug with fusion-icon, or with gnome?
