I just installed Compiz from

But I wonder where is the Emerald window manager gone? I can´t find Emerald anywhere...

I remembered the above from a while back. It would seem that Emerald is unmaintained and doesn't have a future.....

This is the !emerald factoid from #ubuntu IRC channel:

!emerald emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. <<

Not perhaps the best news....

Oh... it seems Emerald and Compiz die a slow death since KDE and Gnome have their own effects engine. It is sad, Compiz and Emerald was a great duo. Malte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
