        That is a sore spot with me as well. Many of us relied on Fusion-Icon 
to start
compiz when we wanted it running and then to stop it when we needed it stopped
(like to play a video, or to work with rdesktop in seamless mode, and a host of
others that don't do well with compositing) The fusion-icon systray icon
provided a very convenient way for users that shy away from the command line
and Alt+F2 to switch to and from kwin and between kde and emerald decorations.

        This is where there is absolutely no consistency at all in the 
development of
KDE4 and the desktop for 11.1. With the staggering amount of resources and
effort spent to dumb down konqueror for dolphin so that "it is easier for new
users" instead of focusing on bringing KDE4 functionality up to par, you would
think that fusion-icon would be a priority since it makes things "easier for
new users." But, no.
