Hi List,

I have compiz fusion installed with emerald window manager, it's all realy fancy and good, but sometimes I really feel like having the standart desktop (window manager, probably?)

So my question is is it possible to turn off compiz for a while without uninstalling. Now somehow when I restart the computer compiz won't start automatically (there are no titlebars on the windows) so I have to go and run compiz fuzion icon myself, and then everything is ok.

So again, the main wish is would be able to turn off compiz fusion with one or more clicks, and come to the state where I had no compiz fusion installed and no gnome-xgl-config --disable-xgl...

Thanks

I'm running 10.3 with KDE and all the latest stuff installed from compiz repositories.

What works for me: To run Compiz_Fusion I start Fusion Icon and compiz just automagically starts running and to stop it I use quit from the FusionIcon system tray icon, logout and in and it is stopped. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Last year I was running beryl, a fork of compiz which allowed one-click control of the desktop - one click to turn on the beryl desktop for a demo, one click to turn it off, e.g. to run an OpenGL game which doen't play well with compositing. IOW I could easily toggle between the normal KDE desktop and the beryl cube. I'd hoped the merge of compiz and beryl would bring the cool features of beryl to compiz, but it doesn't seem to have happened. Sad to say, but it looks as though compiz is still as awkward to deal with as it ever was.

There is an alternative switch to Fusion Icon: use the SessionManager: right click on the Log Out icon on the right end of the taskbar. You can switch Window Manager there as well. Maybe this works for you ? On Thursday 14 February 2008 06:21:38 Sergey Mkrtchyan wrote:
