| another quick tipp: i've searched for a possibility to change compiz' titlebar font and noticed that it makes use of metacitys titlebar setting. so one simply has to change /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font in gconf-editor (or use a gnome app to edit settings for metacity i think). |

if you have gnome installed on your machine, you can type gnome-font-properties to chanhe compiz titlebar font.

| Does anyone have NetworkManger working with Xgl? It seems nm-applet is starting fine here, but it doesn´t show up in any of my panels, I have a sneaking suspicion that this has to do with xgl/compiz somehow. |

from the wiki:
| Code: | | x11-wm/compiz-quinnstorm gnome svg # This does not support KDE |
In what way? Id like to try some of the effects in quinnstorm, but I just wanted to know the severity of the "not supported" message there.

To my knowledge, most of the stuff is made for gnome. I am probably wrong here.. That and the fact that compiz-quinnstorm's ebuild doesn't have the kde USE flag, thus it isn't supported.
If compiz-quinnstorm does work for kde, I will add the kde flag in there and remove the warning from the wiki. |

How can I do to run the XGL directly at startup? I followed the howto, but it works only from this startxgl:
| Code: | ##########/usr/bin/startxgl-xfce4##########
#!/bin/bash
USE_COLOR=1
msg() {
if [ $USE_COLOR -eq 1 ]; then
echo -e "\033[1;32m==>\033[1;0m \033[1;1m$1\033[1;0m" >&2
else
echo "==> $1" >&2
fi
}
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
xgldisplay=1
else
xgldisplay=$1
fi
# OpenGL settings (only for nVidia users!!!)
export __GL_FSAA_MODE=1
export __GL_LOG_MAX_ANISO=2
export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1
msg "Starting XGL at display :$xgldisplay"
# ATI users must use "xv:pbuffer"!!!
Xgl :$xgldisplay -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer &
sleep 1
msg "Starting Compiz (window and composite manager)"
DISPLAY=:$xgldisplay LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa-cvs/lib/ compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher opacity &
sleep 1
msg "Starting gnome-window-decorator"
DISPLAY=:$xgldisplay gnome-window-decorator &
sleep 1

I've been using compiz-quinnstorm with kde with no problems.
I have both kde and gnome installed but work pretty much
always in kde. I use GDM to start XGL. I also have FVWM
installed and it run's fine on top of XGL.

Wait, do you use compiz-quinnstorm with kde-window-decorator, or with gnome-window-decorator? If gnome, someone can remove that warning about not support for kde.
Unless you use k-w-d, I won't add the kde useflag because that is what it is for. |

| Ok then, just need to remove the warning on the wiki. k-w-d is useless in compiz-quinnstorm as the patches are for gnome. |

you could make use of my description -> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3344649.html#3344649
its not a real walkthrough/howto, but you can use it as a template for your needs, i think. |

As far as I see quinnstorm is working fine on my KDE. I just have an issue with the animations beeing in slow motion (without that mode on). But I red somewhere that that's a bug and is fixed in the latest CVS. The native window switcher in KDE doesnt work either, but I think that's about it. It's damn stable and I've never had a crash due to XGL.
edit: I dont know if this cosmetic issue is specific to KDE, but once I minimize a window by clicking the bar button on the bottom kicker and then clicks it again its gonna show up on another spot, usually very low and just half of the window above the visible area..

The speed thing, it needed some messing with the speed values in gconf-config (what I use) to fix. I had to take some decimal values out and just replaced them with 8 and 3, the same as the other speed settings.
The minimize thing, mine does that too, not sure exactly what causes it, but it seems the worst if you minimize and then quickly un-minimize. If you give it a second, it does ok.
I noticed also that at some point, I assume in compiz, the grouping of docked windows was fixed. Before, in an app such as xmms with multiple docked windows, it would treat them seperately rather then as a group.
All solid and stable here on kde 3.5.2. |

The KDE flag and Qt requirements were removed intentionally.
They were there to build the skeleton kde-window-decorator. Since this is a non-functional skeleton, we removed it and it should stay that way (at least until someone fleshes out the kde-window-decorator).
This does not mean compiz will not work with KDE, it just means you have to install a whole lot of gnome packages to make it run on a KDE only system (not ideal, but it works). In this case, you use the gnome-window-decorator and load the normal KDE (probably via startkde).
Hope this helps clear up some confusion.

yea, it does. i dont mind using the gnome-window-decorator and it works like a charm, but i understand its gnome and not native qt/kde code at all. I still have an issue with xmms btw. The playlist is treated sepparatley.
I just updated the svn btw and to my surprise the function where you hit Ctrl Alt Down to get an overwiew of all screens is gone! It was an awsome thing, where did it go? Maybe one of my plugins failed or something but I just updated, didnt really change anything. Even tried the quinnstorm, but it just flipped "novell" up on the bottom of the box, which is like 1/10 000 as useful

U are funny 
U wants a native QT window decorator for compiz, and u use xmms1 what is based on gtk1 
Try amarok >= 1.4, its great, and native QT!
xmms2 has some QT GUIs too. |

Yea I know all that, but,
Well, I didnt really say I wanted a QT window decorator, I actually said Im fine with the gnome one. The thing is I have GTK applications that work with minimizing several MDI (child) windows. I had the same issue with blackbox and xmms before (it simply doesnt treat the playlist as a part of xmms as it should do), so its not KDE/compiz related I guess, just how xmms is done.
I have used amarok a looong time but sometimes xmms is better suited.
xmms2? what did i miss? (sorry, dont answer this, overly off topic)

|

question about my custom script from a shell :
#!/bin/bash
#exec /usr/bin/fvwm
echo "Starting X Server with XGL"
Xgl :1 -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer &
sleep 15
echo " Starting Compiz"
DISPLAY=:1 /usr/bin/compiz --replace gconf &
sleep 15
echo " Starting Window Manager"
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-window-decorator &
DISPLAY=:1 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
DISPLAY=:1 nautilus -n --sync &
DISPLAY=:1 gnome-panel &
exec DISPLAY=:1 xterm
#echo " DONE!"
#sleep 1
it gives some errors but it works and I can use all the nice compiz-effects.
but when I choose this session in entrance ( or any other logon manager: qingy, kdm, gdm, xdm) it doesn't work.
Or it seems to end directly....
I just want one session for Xgl/Compiz in /etc/X11/Sessions
any thoughts appreciated

I can't use the F12 compiz feature... I believe it may be a compiz plugin problem.
With gconf-editor I see:
apps -> compiz -> general -> allscreens -> options ->
active plugin=gconf,decoration,woobly,fade,minimize,cube,rotate,zoom,scale,move,resize,place,switcher
But in "apps -> compiz -> plugins" the only folder is "fade".

Yeah, I hate it when a new feature steals an existing keybinding. To get it back, edit /apps/compiz/plugins/cube/screen0/options/unfold and set it back to <Control><Alt>Down, then edit /apps/compiz/plugins/rotate/screen0/options/rotate_down and either change it to a different keybinding or (as I did) delete the binding so it's disabled. If you do the latter, you should probably also delete the binding for rotate_up. |

Try hitting your Pause/Break key instead of F12. |

Hei! Thanks, that works..
But if I can't view the scale plugin in gconf-editor.. How can I change the default shortcut?
