Well, no one has answered me so far... I've done some research and 
kbuildsycoca is not a decoration manager. I don't remember what it was 
now, but it's non-threatening.

Also, running system Monitor shows gtk-window-decorator --replace 
running, so I guess the right decoration manager is running.

That leaves

I/O warning : failed to load external entity
"/home/ray/.compiz/session/default0"

Does anyone know what this error message means?
