Experiment of the day, Compiz in xfce

The cool thing about xfce is that it is very lightweight and simple.  I was just trying it out because I got bored of Gnome 2.  Gnome 3 still feels weird to me and KDE has never been my DE.  However just because xfce is meant to run on low resources computers it doesn't mean I can't turn on some tweaks and effects.  So this is what I've got so far.

While running a Xubuntu session (since I'm using Ubuntu for this one) I went to the Terminal and typed:

compiz --replace ccp &

gtk-window-decorator --replace &

Then I kinda works. So I want it for every time I login in Xubuntu session.  Therefore I created a shell file with the following:

#!/usr/bin/
compiz --replace ccp &
gtk-window-decorator --replace &

I placed it in /usr/bin/ and added a link on the folder /.config/autostart.  However it doesn't does squat so I still have to do it over the terminal every time I want to run Compiz effects.  They are not vital but I think that if can't get it to work I might go back to Gnome...  Will keep on trying though...  =P

(Update!)

After moving stuff for a couple of days I returned to Gnome xD

Xfce was indeed more than what I expected, and with a couple more features I would've kept it.  I know it's meant to be for low resourced systems but with more optional effects it will become a fair option for any system.
