    Emerald fails to load sometimes

    I use Compiz, on Ubuntu 10.04, and notice that Emerald sometimes fails to load at login, leaving all apps window-less, and I have to do an Alt+F2 and "emerald --replace" to bring it back..

    Any ideas what can cause this? I like to keep my UI looking nice, and that's why I use those utilieis, they run fast on my setup..

    it actually does load and then it crashes. Quite a few known bugs that I believe are being worked on, this happens to me about 10% of the time. Also make sure you start compiz the right way, not through replacing metacity after boot:
