Bug Description

Binary package hint: fusion-icon

A while back (7.10) I noticed that when you add fusion-icon to your session startup, compiz starts twice. Once through gconf, and again when fusion-icon starts. To fix this I figured out that you could set fusion-icon as gnome's default window manager in gconf, then have fusion-icon handle loading witch ever window manager you want. As said this setup works fine in 8.10, but in 9.04 it causes fusion-icon to start without loading [bold]any[/bold] window manager regardless out witch one is set to load. The fix is as simple as clicking the reload button from the drop down list for fusion-con, but the Idea is for it to work without intervention.
