If test 1 fails, try passing defaultWM the options you see as the result of running 'ps ax | grep compiz' which should be something like:
defaultWM='compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp'
which should be the same thing as passing it fusion-icon, but I don't know what parameter type defaultWM is expecting. Logout/login and see if this fixed it. If it is, then for the same reasons, you can safely remove compiz-manager.
This worked!!! And the way you explained it made perfect sense even to me ;-) So in that python folder the config file has the options you wrote above for compiz, while in compiz-manager file in my Autostart folder the only option was "--ignore-desktop-hints". I got your point clearly, so when it was starting with compiz-manager, it was failing somehow because those options were not there, and when I was doing by hand from fusion icon they were working because it was running options from different config file. (Sorry I might be sloppy in terms here) So what I did I just manually edited compiz-manager file, and changed only the line from _________________________ COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--ignore-desktop-hints" COMPIZ_PLUGINS="" ENV="" _________________________ to _________________________ COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp" COMPIZ_PLUGINS="" ENV="" ________________________ And now the best part is that it works even without fusion-icon (which honestly I don't like, I don't change the settings that often). Thanks a lot for your detailed e-mail, you really helped me a lot, and now I can finally stick to my exam with no worries in my mind :-) Happy Thanksgiving!
