There's no way we can ever guarantee that a ~/.compiz directory exists. ~/ could be read only or the disk could be full so make sure your code can deal with that properly. Whoever wants to write something to ~/.compiz should be responsible for trying to create the directory if it doesn't exist. - David _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
