I just installed Ubuntu Studio 11.04 amd64 and then I installed Docky. *Docky warned that Compositing was not enabled. *I could not seem to figure out how to get Desktop Compositing to "turn on". *Tried installing CompizConfig Settings Manager, but inside there it said Compositing was already enabled.


Then I found this linkhttp://marianochavero.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/a-simple-gui-for-unity-2d-settings-ubuntu-11-04/

and this little utility made it as simple to enable as a click. *(Now Docky works nicely as well as other desktop effects.)




Hope that is a help for you, if you run into the same issue.
If you have a better solution, please share it!

Not sure if this is true in Natty, as I have yet to try it, but can't you enable compositing by selecting anything but "None" under Visual Effects in the "Appearance" menu?

"Visual Effects" no longer are in the "Appearance" menu.
