Of course, this is silly having to do this each and every time you login to your desktop environment, so here is a trick:
 
 
# Click '''SYSTEM -> PREFERENCES -> Startup Applications'''.
# The "'''Startup Applications Preferences'''" dialog box will appear.
# Click the "Add" button. The "Add Startup Program" dialog box will appear.
# Give the program a name like: Emerald Plugin
# Under the Command textbox, type emerald --replace
# Then click the "Add" button. Your additional program called "Emerald Plugin" will now be run whenever you login to your Linux graphical environment.
# Close the "'''Startup Applications Preferences'''" dialog box .
# To have the settings take effect, either reboot your system, or at least logout and login back into your Linux graphical environment.
 
 
You can play-around and search the Internet for additional Emerald engines to use...
Have fun experimenting!
