Description Owen Taylor 2009-08-26 16:36:37 UTC 
The respawn logic for compiz runs /usr/bin/compiz, but that's not enough to get a functional compiz on Fedora - on Fedora you need to run compiz-gtk, a wrapper script that, among other things:

 - Runs gtk-window-decorator
 - Runs compiz with the right plugins 'glib gconf' (and maybe more)

We probably should have a list of things we try to start in order to restart compiz-gtk is right for Fedora. Not sure about other distros.
