Is there any way to change this behavior? I know it has to be addressed somewhere but it's actually sitting in the middle of my screen now and I did search before posting. I just couldn't find it, if I do I'll post here and mark this solved, apologies for what is likely a duplicate topic.

*note* I found the solution that works for some of disabling splash in gconf-editor but that doesn't work for me.
I think it may be becuase i'm starting kdm Xstartup with --replace decoration, etc, etc. rather than using gconf but I'm not sure how to use gconf instead.. nothing without the --replace seems to work.
EDIT:
OK, this worked
compiz gconf --replace
As opposed to
compiz --replace gconf (as I was trying before).
EDIT2:
This is annoying, I marked this solved but I'm unmarking it as compiz gconf --replace will only work from the command line it doesn't seem to work in Xstartup.. I have no idea why.
All I have there is
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib compiz gconf --replace &
sleep 3
gnome-window-decorator & |

You need to use kde's "autostart" feature via ~/.kde/Autostart/compiz
Place "compiz --replace gconf & gnome-window-decorator" into a new file there, and you're set.
If you do not have "--replace gconf" in your compiz line, compiz will NOT read your settings, and use it's own internal defaults.
Edit: Also, disabling the splash window type on the fade plugin will fix your task switcher issue, you can also use the vanilla compiz build instead. |

I had the same behaviour. It seems to be something typical to quinnstorm. I resorted to using compiz-vanilla for now. _________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. |

You are right of course, I was being dumb not to have tried that, though I'm not sure why it works there and not in the other script.
I use autostart scripts for xmodmap and other things.. can't for the life of me figure out why I didn't try it for this. |
