I'm using gnome, but get the same error message with the GL Desktop control
panel. It will turn on compiz but never remembers my settings.

Even though I have the preferences enabled to remember running programs,
nautilus and terminal programs have to be restarted each login.

Most of the other preferences seem ok.

I'm guessing that this is a gnome setting problem of some sort rather than
an Xfce problem.
