I followed the instructions in the video, but when I restart Compiz doesnt enable.
Do I have to run "compiz --replace? to get it working ?    And should I put that commmand in my startup options?

Thanks
Len

Hi Len, go here and start at instruction 5 to enable compiz at start up - http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-set-up-compiz-in-xubuntu-1210-or.html (http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-set-up-compiz-in-xubuntu-1210-or.html) Just replace 'mousepad' with 'leafpad'.
