Compiz doesn't start when I log in



Greetings,

Compiz doesn't work when I log out (and kill all remaining processes I
own) and log back in.  The screen blinks a couple of times, but there's
no window manager.

.xsession-errors shows several repeats of:

/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

However, when I run "compiz &" from the command line, it works
perfectly.  Why would that be?

A clue: when run from the command line, ps shows: 
/usr/bin/compiz.real --ignore-desktop-hints --replace --indirect-rendering ccp
And in .gnome2/session, the compiz section is: 
12,id=103428a3d9000121560782100000082270004
12,RestartStyleHint=2
12,Program=/usr/bin/compiz.real
12,CloneCommand=/usr/bin/compiz.real --ignore-desktop-hints --indirect-rendering ccp 
12,RestartCommand=/usr/bin/compiz.real --sm-client-id 103428a3d9000121560782100000082270004 --ignore-desktop-hints --indirect-rendering ccp 

But running the compiz.real CloneCommand instead of "compiz &" fails in
the same way as shown above.

How can I add whatever magic is in /usr/bin/compiz to make this work
from the session manager, so I don't have to run it from the command
line?

Thanks,
-Adam
