[opensuse] SuSE 10.3 / nVidia / Twinview / KDE / AMD_64 / Compiz current issues
These are the current issues I am having: Taskbar: -Doesn't display all windows (have show from all desktops disabled, when this is enabled, they all show up) -Hiding is inttermittant KDE: -<alt>F2 doesn't bring up the run dialog -kde decorations not working, using emerald -switches resize from <alt>button2 to <alt>button3 Plugins: -Water Effect doesn't toggle off all the way. CPU stays at 88% used, even though no water is shown. Have to disable plugin to get CPU back -Window Placement doesn't seem to care about title=KMail -Window Rules WILL see the title=KMail for non-movable window, but if you use the mouse in upper right corner, select KMail, it moves it to centered screen1 instead of the non-movable location 0,0 on screen 2. Compiz: -With Water effects going, cube fish, cube gears, yast_update, and <ctrl><alt>button1 moving of cube around, system will freeze (xgl, can still get to VC1 and init 3/5) (stress test) -sometimes when the screen saver kicks in, it is off centered. Instead of X/Y for upper left being 0,0 (whole screen) it is somewhere like (800,600) instead -No window title bars can go above 0,0. I use VNC to view remote desktops, and I always put the VNC title bar above 0 so that the remote title bar is at 0 Used 1-click install from repository, .6 newest version.

Isn't it what it is supposed to do?

Of course it will freeze, water itself is very resource hungry.

Known issue, try checking ccsm -> general -> Unredirect full screen

ccsm -> move -> constraint Y Cheers -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

the libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig is installed (version 0.6.0-1.1 X86_64) I found this snippet: Alt+F2 Does not work in KDE * To start a run dialog in KDE add to ccsm -> General Options -> Commands -> Command line 0 -> dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand and associate this with "execute command binding" to ALT+F2 in "Actions" tab. It works ONLY AFTER deleting the ALT+F2 association for "Execute Run dialog field" So, I go to ccsm and find the Commands tab. I enter dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand in textEdit box for Command line 0 in the "Commands" tab. The "Associate this with 'execute command binding' to ALT+F2 is confusing. I find the "Actions" tab, and under Commands, I see "run command 0", so this is what I set to <alt>F2. Under General I find the "Run Dialog" set to ALT-F2, and disabled it. I couldn't find a way to delete it. And I still can't get the run dialog. Isn't the Run Dialog set to ALT-F2 supposed to work? ALT-F9 for minimize works, ALT-Space works, why not alt-F1 for main menu or alt-F2? The above directions (as best as I could understand) didn't make it work either.

I don't know what 'proper' usage would be. Don't move is pretty straight forward, it shouldn't move. But, there are some instances where this gets overridden, like when you use the mouse on upper right corner to switch windows. SHIFT-F9 to toggle is also straight forward, press it once, see the water. Press it again, water stops, (but CPU still doing something, until you disable to plugin). Window placement is also pretty straight forward. Enter the same identifier for the the window that the no move rule works with to identify the window for placement. I would think that any other placement aside from what I entered means that it didn't listen to what I entered.
Compiz: -With Water effects going, cube fish, cube gears, yast_update, and <ctrl><alt>button1 moving of cube around, system will freeze (xgl, can
still
get to VC1 and init 3/5) (stress test)
Of course it will freeze, water itself is very resource hungry.
So it is supposed to freeze? (e.g. won't come back when finished?) I don't think this is by design. Shouldn't get in a race state. I can switch to VC and get my CPU back. I let it sit for hours, to see if it would eventually finish as if things were 'queued', but when things got busy, it never did recover. It shouldn't freeze. chunk - ok. get slow - ok. drop frames - ok. give error message - ok. just freeze, until init 3 / 5, NOT ok.
-sometimes when the screen saver kicks in, it is off centered. Instead of
X/Y
for upper left being 0,0 (whole screen) it is somewhere like (800,600) instead

ccsm -> move -> constraint Y Wonderful! This was it. I found a few other 'settings' that were in ccsm
known issue? good enough. I know this is development. I'm happy to use/test. It isn't a show stopper. This is already better than anything else I've ever used. Not complaining one bit. Trying to help. (with what little time I have) that I just didn't expect, but wasn't a bug. Just different from default. Like the alt-button3 for resize. No biggie. Thanks for the info. worked like a charm. Thank you for your work. This is a fucking beautiful thing! Love it!
