This is not optimal, because KDE's window manager kwin is started first, then replaced by compiz. On my machines this also created problems with other programs that are autostarted (have icons in KDE systray).
It also has the disadvantage that a compiz.desktop needs to be created in each user's home.
I propose a much better way:
1. create /usr/local/bin/compiz.sh with this content: /usr/bin/compiz gconf & /usr/bin/gnome-window-decorator &
2. make it executable: chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/compiz.sh
3. create /etc/profile.d/kdewm.sh with this content export KDEWM=/usr/local/bin/compiz.sh No need to make it executable.
This will start compiz directly, not kwin. It's effective for all users of the computer. If that's not desirable, you can add the line with "export KDEWM" to the ~/.profile file instead of /etc/profile.d
If nobody objects to this method, I'll edit the wiki page.
I vote that you go ahead. This works ALOT better than the currently documented method. Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
