Hi all,
I'm trying to get compiz to work in Gnome and couldn't seem to achieve it. Basically I'm following whatever the wiki says. Installed compiz-core and compiz-decorator-gtk. Added those two to gnome-session but when I do startx, I have no desktop. If I leave them out from gnome-session and try running them after gnome is up. It doesn't work either. Running 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' has no effect. Running 'compiz --replace' will cause everything to disappear bar the background.
Some googling found another way: use gnome-wm. So I added gnome-wm to gnome-session and export WINDOW_MANAGER=compiz in .xinitrc. But I still only get metacity.
Any pointers?
Thanks!

I too had same problem before with compiz, so installed compiz fusion icon and that helped. Arch compiz fusion wiki:
