    Hi,
    I have been able to get compiz running by installing the fusion icon but i need to open it each time i turn on my aspire one. Is there anyway to have it start on startup?

    cd to the directory that contains the file you wish to edit
    if the directory is owned by root, you won't be able to edit a file within it, unless you do:

    sudo mousepad <file-to-edit>

    the password you need to enter is the password you entered when you first started using the computer.

    Cheers.

    I think a more direct way is to just add fusion-icon to the default session...

    1. sudo mousepad /etc/xdg/xce4-session/xfce4-session.rc

    2. In the [Failsafe Session] section, append:
    Client5_Command=fusion-icon
    Client5_PerScreen=False

    3. Adjust the line count of apps to start from 5 to 6:
    [Failsafe Session]
    Count=6
