you mention it, I seem to recall having installed one around that time.
Although fun to play with now and then, those desktop effects are the
kind of fluff that nobody really needs. It's not hard to do without them.

Beware of updates. I had mine working fine. The nvidia driver update of
a week or so ago (installed via Yast updates) made it stop working. What
confuses me is why almost all of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file was changed
in the upgrade. I will work through all and see which thing was changed
to make it no longer work. But it is truly a fragile thing.
