[opensuse] 11.3 - No Compiz in kde3 -- OK in Gnome and kde4 (show folders on DT is ON)
Guys, I have a strange problem with 11.3. I can't start compiz in kde3, but it runs fine in gnome or kde4. The error given each time in .xsession-errors is: compiz (core) - Error: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0 compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 Now in the past, this mean somebody had done something stupid and turned of the desktop/behavior "Show icons on Desktop", but I know that one and the checkbox is there. So I've tried packages from both X11/Compiz and X11/XGL, but no help, same result. Each time you attempt to start compiz, you get those two lines above added to your .xsession-errors file. I've tried both with fusion-icon and with compiz-manager. Unfortunately, compiz-manager did not start compiz, but it did activate KDE4 desktop effects in KDE3 -- that was a trick. I guess it just started kde4 as a fall-back. I've tried with compiz-kde4 and compiz-manager removed from the system (that used to help), but no joy. The strange part is compiz works well in both gnome and kde4. So I know it works and I don't have a hardware/driver/xorg settings issue. I'm stumped. What say the experts? cc: Dominique L.

There is no longer any compiz support for kde 3 in openSUSE 11.3. Just as there is no official KDE3 support in 11.3. Let go of dead horses :) X11:Compiz by the way is being prepared for Compiz 0.9.0 (see my blog posts and messages on Factory). Which does not get any attention for KDE3 neither. If you need the KDE3 backens, you probably are best of branching the X11:Compiz packages (or X11:XGL, as X11:Compiz is already at 0.9) and re-enable and fiddle with the kde3 stuff. It will require different base distributions though, to get all the libs available and probably some patches added / changed.
