Cairo dock and compiz

Well i have been running Zorin OS 5.2 lite for a couple weeks now. Having used ubuntu,kubunto,fedora,backtrack, and linux MInt i have to say that zorin is the one that suites me best. I recently applied Cairo-Dock to my desktop and it has a black background around the docks. I tried to get metacity to work but with no success so i installed compiz with all the packages. Now when i log on it has the black background but i can right click on compiz and either reload WM or switch the windows manager and it works....So how would i modify it to automatically work when i logged on? I am running a Dell Latitude D610 320GB HDD 2GB RAM Grafix is mobility radeon x300 any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

I don't quite know if this is what you want; but you can look here:

The compiz website does not go in to detail unfortunately, I've tried extensive measures to solve the problem but alas i am just living with switching my windows manager manually when i log on. Any other suggestions.
