Changing sessions start/load/run priority

Question

1) I have fresh installed arch
2) installed compiz, ran fusion-icon and compiz worked smoothly
3) tried to introduce compiz as my default window manager, followed wiki
    in gconf editor : changed the /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager to compiz
    and followed the rest of instructions but did not help. Finally changed the parameter to fusion-icon which caused gnome
    to startup with compiz as it default WM (and compiz icon on notification area).
4) Installed the gnome-do, activated autostart (which means an item in 'Sessions'), chose the 'Glass Interface'
From now on every time gnome starts 'gnome-do' falls back to its default interface and that's because it starts before compiz.
when I restart the 'gnome-do' (after compiz starts), the 'Glass Interface' appears again to prove this theory.
This same exact scenario also happens for 'Yakuake' and its transparent bash window.
Now I think I need to manually define the priority of starting/running programs in 'Sessions' and Ido not know how!!!
Truely appreciate your reply

Answer 1

I had the same problem, dont know if you found a fix or not, what i did was made a super simple bash script to delay gnome-do from starting.
#!/bin/bash
sleep 15s;
gnome-do;
then change the sessions to start this insted, works fine for me.
just make sure to make it executable
as a side note i had similar problems with tomboy starting and i did the same thing for it, and its fixed it.
