XGL, Compiz and KDE (again)
Hello,
After updating to SuSE 10.3 I though to give XGL and Compiz another try.
After adding XGL to to kdmrc and restarting the X XGL and Compiz started
ok. But then it happened: A tiny window appeared in the top left corner of
the screen - just as a few pixes higher then the title bar and about about
twice as wide.
That would not have been a problem - but another one appeared just below,
And another one. In less then second the full screen height was filled and
a 2nd column was started. After about five sec half the screen was full.
It would not stop. Or reaching the right side of the screen it would
continue on the left. Nothing to be done except killing the X session.
Any ideas?
Martin

A little afterthought: Once XGL is active it's allways Compiz which is
started as WindowManager - Not Kwin, not Beryl. I looked hard and I could
not find the place where it is done. Is there anyway at all change that? -
Apart from the brute force way of using "kwin --replace" that is.

Sounds great... but that doesn't actually do anything on my 10.3 system. The
installation progressed normally. Downloaded everything it needed. No
errors, etc.
nVidia drivers are installed and working. I have compiz selected as my
window manager and emerald as my window decorator. The theme manager shows
me a bunch of themes, but they don't do anything. Settings manager shows
that I have the Desktop Cube, Zoom Desktop and several items selected, but
I don't see any of it happening.
I've restarted the system but no change.

i did the one click install without ATI drivers installed,
and that works great for me.

touch $HOME/.config/compiz/disable-compiz (to disable Compiz at startup)
rm $HOME/.config/compiz/disable-compiz (to enable Compiz to autostart on
login)

I wasn't the original poster... Just providing some feedback from when I
tried the one-click install just a few minutes earlier.
