Using compiz in gdm
I am customizing my gdm screen. I have changed my theme using:
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/
and then my window border using:
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/
After restarting, my new gdm theme is shown as specified above. I log in to my desktop and get my usual theme (set to DarkRoom) for my windows. Now I enable compiz for my gdm screen by doing the following:
1. Copied /usr/shar/
2. Disabled metacity as the compositing manager by doing sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/metacity/
3. Enabled compiz as the compositing manager by doing sodu -u gdm gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gdm/
Now when I restart and log in to my desktop, my window borders are set to AgingGorilla. If I try to set my theme using gnome-appearanc
How can I get my change my theme while keeping compiz enabled in my gdm screen? If I remove the compiz.desktop file from /usr/share/
