Debian sid upgrading lxsession removes lxde-settings-daemon

[craigevil]

$ apt-cache policy lxsession
lxsession:
Installed: 0.3.8+svn20090521-1
Candidate: 0.4.1-1

$ apt-cache policy lxde-settings-daemon
lxde-settings-daemon:
Installed: 0.4.1-2
Candidate: 0.4.1-2

Trying to update lxsession wants to remove lxde-settings-daemon, anyone know when this will be fixed or is the package no longer needed?

Never mind went ahead with the upgrade and read the changelog.

Since lxde-settings-daemon merged into lxsession, we ship a new autostart
file without launch lxde-settings-daemon for LXDE within this package.
Please update to new autostart file or simply drop '@lxde-settings-daemon'
from it.

I did an upgrade. But after upgrade, all my old configuration is lost. But nevermind, I can try to restore them. But the worse is that the window manager is changed from compiz to openbox. What do I need to modify to get back 'compiz' ? From the gui, the desktop session setting still says the window manager is "compiz".

Try looking in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE and you should see desktop.conf that contains window_manager= . This is where the window manager command line is. If you have a "config" file there, it might contain the right command for compiz. You typically need "compiz <the correct configuration backend plugin>". The file "config" was its name in previous lxsession releases.
