Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
thanks for your reply.
well i guess i've played with most of them then. I think for the time being i'm going to settle with Xfce4 panel. I'm surprised how light it is . . .

Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
PS: To shutdown / reboot, I use a modified oblogout script. If there's any interest I will post it here as well.
Yes, please post this!!! Have been trying to add session management to get my xfce panel shutdown/logout buttons to work but failing miserably.

main()It requires pm-utils for suspending etc. The rest should work AFAIK. Lemme know if you need help

Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
interestingly i can't get your script to run.
/usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directoryI can get darthwound's to run tho' - script is almost identical. It creates a window with selection buttons so i guess i should persevere with his script . . . ?
The nuts and bolts behind these 2 scripts are the same tho' using dbus/consolekit to perform the actions but only the logout button does anything - it kills compiz leaving me logged in without decorations. the shutdown and reboot buttons do nothing.
Oh! - I should add i am using a wheezy base netinstall with your compiz standalone loaded on top ( via a modified omns build script) and slim login manager.
I guess i need to do some homework on slim, dbus and consolekit.

Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
all right - i believe i am now starting my compiz session 'correctly' via consolekit rather than my horrible hack 
.
the buttons still don't work 
the stop command in the script is something like this:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stopif i run the above as sudo in terminal the system shuts down.
if as normal user, i get following error when run from terminal
Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not AuthorizedAny ideas on a solution to this? - i am a member of power, powerdev.
Have spent some time searching for an answer - thought the issue was incorrectly implemented consolekit on startup

Run this to correct the python error
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python2

Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
You are aware of the fact, that /usr/bin/env python2 looks up a certain environment variable? Set the correct variable and the script will run.
I'm so meta, even this acronym
Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
How do you start your session Gurtid? Using SLiM + .xinitrc? If so, use this line in .xinitrc to launch Compiz with the correct permissions to use shutdown/reboot:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch compiz ccp- gurtid

Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
@vastone and Awebb. Thank you - that's solved that issue.
@Unia. Yes - essentially that's wot i'm doing. Do you use this method?
I think part of my problem is that ck doesn't register an active session . . . ?
gurtid@deb64compiz:~$ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = 'gurtid'
seat = 'Seat2'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ':0.0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = FALSE
on-since = '2011-10-14T00:33:51.761454Z'
login-session-id = '4294967295'- gurtid

Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
ok . . . so the 'fix' is to dump SLiM and install LightDM.
Now able to shutdown/reboot via Unias script 
edit: it's a known bug affecting SLiM and XDM.

Re: Compiz-Fusion Standalone on #!
omns' account seems to have been suspended. Is there any other way of getting the compiz-alone and menu debs?
