KControl offers a menu for that but compiz does not make use of that.

But I think our goal must be to make things as easy as possible. Maybe there will be a time when activating Composite and thus compiz is not that complicated. So why not use the present tools to be prepared? Fusion-icon is a nice piece of code, but yet *another* little tool. And as Xavier mentioned in comment #8 starting compiz using the KDE way (ksmserverrc) avoids the problems of the tray icons mentioned in the first posting since compiz is started very early. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332079#c14 --- Comment #14 from Johannes Engel 2007-10-22 02:20:55 MST --- The thing with ksmserverrc is the following: If we start compiz(-manager) there it gets loaded very early in the startup process. As a result all programs started afterwards find a compiz environment and can safely integrate with that. If we start compiz later by autostart or by hand there are some programs started before and some after and maybe even some programs started in parallel. As a result some tray icons fail to integrate in the systray and swim around either as loose windows with just the icon or do not appear at all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Let the KDE experts guess what's going wrong here. :) Although I think hard-coding compiz into ksmserver there is not the way to fix the problem maybe we can replace compiz by compiz-manager there for testing purpose. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For me the best way is starting 'compiz(-manager)' early before everything.

Remember that if you gonna start 'compiz(-manger)' after everthing (autostart way) you will need to kill kwin and this proccess would take you into visual problems, in my case, if I kill kwin for use compiz the desktop pager applet of kicker duplicate the number of desktops, also get deformed, plus other visual problems, also the comsume proccesor.

I use 'compiz-manager' script in ksmserverrc and everything is fine, fusion-icon is started too, kwin don't need to be started so there is no visual problems. Emerald is started by fusion-icon or by decoration plugin command (as fusion-icon is started automatically by compiz-manager I have disabled the command in decoration plugin).

I also have disabled the Autostart way so compiz-manager don't start two times.
