UBuntu 12.04 LTS uses Compiz 0.9.7.12 as a default window manager. Where UBuntu stores an information which window manager is used by default ? I want to permanently switch to the metacity or run compiz with parameters, for example compiz --debug core composite opengl.

  • I installed mdm as default display manager for Ubuntu 12.04. I replaced lightdm with mdm and I am satisfied with the results. Login greeter is nicer and can be customized, and there are a lot of other features, including security features that you can customize with the 'Login Window' app which comes together with MDM. – Taz D.

Ubuntu stores the information in

/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/"YOURSESSION"

The property DefaultProvider-windowmanager is where you set your default window manager.

Like this DefaultProvider-windowmanager=metacity
