All modern DEs support xdg autostart spec: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html#startup So you can create .desktop file that will be launched automatically when you login. System-wide location is /etc/xdg/autostart, but I prefer local: Here is how you can launch xcalc on each login: $ cat ~/.config/autostart/xcalc.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=xcalc Try to do the same with compiz --replace. Chances are high that you already have this file in "/usr/share/applications/compiz-start.desktop", so you can simply copy or link (ln -s) it. Another approach is to install it as an alternative for x-window-manager, but this hasn't been done by package maintainer, so there should be some reasons not to do that..
