I tried to remove the compton.desktop from ~/.config/autostart but compton is not loading when I close and open the desktop session again... Can I run the script again?
The problem I'm having with Compton is: http://s16.postimg.org/7njk4j8fp/comp_freak.jpg It's random, in some sessions, compton loads ok, on most of them compton starts applying transparency to lxpanel. 2013/7/6 Andre Rodovalho <andre.rodova...@gmail.com> > I guess I found what's wrong.
