Hmm. Mine stays between reboots, I'm not sure what I did to make that
happen.
I've had mine not load every now and then, and just ran compiz from the
little command-line thing I added to a panel (probably just from a
terminal is good enough). That doesn't happen very often, though.
Occasionally, mine will not load the adept updater icon into the panel
and make it a normal window. I'm not sure what triggers this, but it
may be clicking on something before compiz is done loading.
I've also had it lose the emerald window decorations, but I just get
them back from the compiz fusion icon.
