I choose in LightDM gnome-classic session.

I launched gnome3 with the classic style (the fallback). But compiz doesn't work.

If I execute compiz --replace compiz starts working.

But how enable automatic loading of compiz? If I add compiz to autostart in gnome starting takes lot of time.

Problem was in file /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-classic.session in key RequiredProviders in parameter notifications

This parameter causes to fail loading of gnome-classic (which have window manager gnome-wm), and system try to load gnome-fallback (which have window manager metacity). I remove notifications parameter from RequiredProviders key, and my gnome-classic now loading with compiz (gnome-wm loads compiz).

  • The disadvantage of using this method is that you cant add or customise the panels - I think you can only do this via gnome-fallback mode... unless you have any other ideas?

  • where is compiz-config ? It is not on my 11.10 system; apt-get does not know about it. I do have Compiz Config Settings Manager (ccsm) - is that what you mean?

  • yes, sorry about that, I mean ccsm. Its hard to clear Alt+Button2 (or Button3, dont remember) keybind because its reset after restart, I dont know why, seems bug. The solution is to set another keybind for window menu.

  • Good that you wrote some things in English. I am Brazilian and for me Russian is like Chinese. Thanks for sharing text in the universal language. It seems that the parameter "notifications;" is useless in the classic gnome session...
