Sorry, my bad.
I don't use compiz, like you said, it's not cancer research or
something like that.  :)   So I shall leave you to others to help out.
But it may be good to check out your fstab if all the necessary
partitions are mounted as well; especially if the other settings ,
say, panel settings do not stick as well.

Again, apologies for misunderstanding your message.

Regards, take care - Goh Lip
