SOLVED - Compiz delay on login and rendering...

I followed the compiz wiki and had a problem with menus/windows refreshing correctly, so I modified the Exec line to the following from the wiki:

Exec=/usr/bin/compiz ccp --indirect-rendering

When I login now I notice the 4-10 second delay also mentioned in the wiki so modified the Exec again with the following:

Exec=bash -c 'compiz ccp decoration --sm-client-id --indirect-rendering $DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID'

The delay is still there and the refreshing issue came back.  It seems as though it didn't take the --indirect-rendering switch even though the wiki said it should.  Am I doing something else wrong?

Removing the line you said and adding:
Exec=compiz ccp --indirect-rendering decoration --sm-client-id $DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID

worked for me.  thanks.
