[SOLVED]LXDE with Compiz
I just did a fresh install of Arch and I installed LXDE. I want to use compiz instead of openbox, but I can't get it to start. I tried "compiz --replace" which only took away my window borders. I have window decorations checked in ccsm and the command is set to emerald --replace. I also tried "emerald --replace", but that didn't do anything. I changed openbox-lxde in preferences->desktop session settings to compiz --replace, but that had no effect.So, could someone please tell me how to autostart compiz? I don't want to use the fusion icon because it will bring up the desktop first in openbox and then switch compiz. I want it to start in compiz right away. Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED]LXDE with Compiz
Install ccsm and then enable "Window borders" , "resize window" and "move window" plugins. Then reenable compiz.

Re: [SOLVED]LXDE with Compiz
I already have ccsm and I have window decorations, resize window, and move window plugins enabled. I just need help enabling compiz. I can start it with the fusion icon, but I want to do it without the fusion icon.

Re: [SOLVED]LXDE with Compiz
I figured out that I can start compiz with the "compiz --replace ccp" command, but I still can't set it as the window manager. Openbox is still loaded even if I put "compiz --replace ccp" as the window manager under advanced options in preferences->Desktop Session Settings.

Re: [SOLVED]LXDE with Compiz
It finally works. I guess it just took two logout/logins. Thanks vacant
