That has:

~ $ ps -edalf | grep compiz
0 Z ovid      4940  4889  0  75   0 -     0 exit   09:01 ?        00:00:00 [compiz] <defunct>
0 S ovid      5064     1  0  76   0 -  7842 -      09:03 ?        00:00:01 compiz-tray-icon
0 S ovid     20270     1  0  75   0 -  3062 -      17:14 ?        00:00:01 compiz --replace dbus csm
0 R ovid     21137 19602  0  76   0 -   722 -      17:41 pts/1    00:00:00 grep compiz

It looks like --replace is for dbus and csm.  I don't know what that means, though.

So do I need to install the gconf plugin?  How do I do that?  I've been relying entirely on the Synaptic Package Manager to upgrade my compiz stuff.  (sorry for being so clueless about this)

Cheers,
Ovid
