I am currently running Linux Mint 18.2 Xfce (64-bit), and would like to use Compton as the default window manager. Linux Mint provides a handy tool called Desktop Settings for choosing window managers with ease.I choose Compton to eliminate my screen-tearing issues. It works very well, but when I reboot, screen tearing is back. I open Desktop Settings again, and Xfwm4 + Compton is still highlighted, but it acts as though Xfwm4 + Compositing were selected instead. If I choose any other item in the list and then change back to Compton, screen-tearing is eliminated until the next reboot. This is highly annoying. Is there any configuration file I can edit to make Linux Mint load Compton by default?
Make Linux Mint choose Compton by default?
