Thanks, but I think our systems must be configured differently. I don't see this in the KMenu with either the SuSE menu style or the KDE menu style. Maybe I will after I figure out whatever _else_ is wrong.
Please reply only to the list. Can you show what compiz apps you have installed. rpm -qa|grep compiz -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry, Ken. Of all the lists I'm part of, this is the only one configured like this. Sometimes I forget to "reply all."

rpm -qa|grep compiz
Sure: libcompizconfig-backend-gconf-0.5.2_git070824-23 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.5.2_git070825-22 compiz-gnome-0.5.4-27 libcompizconfig-0.5.2_git070824-22 compiz-emerald-0.5.2-22 python-compizconfig-0.5.2_git070825-22 compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.5.2_git070824-22 libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig-0.5.2_git070824-23 compiz-emerald-themes-0.5.2-6 compiz-kde-0.5.4-27 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.5.2_git070824-22 compiz-0.5.4-27 As I may have indicated, I think I probably installed more than I needed to, but only when the first attempts didn't appear to be enough. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

TB does have a reply-to-list addon.

I also have compiz-fusion-kde-0.6.2-3.1 installed. Not sure if it adds the menu entry or not. rpm reports that it contains no files. I'm not a wiz at Compiz-Fusion just looking for anything obvious. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, everyone, for your help. It's working fine now. I discovered the official SuSE documentation and read through it, then used YaST to set up the configuration. I'm not going to say what the documentation told me to do after clicking [Finish], because some here will assure me that it's not necessary, and I'd be a fool to do it. (Anyone having problems with this can read it for themselves.) Suffice it to say that I did what the documentation told me to do, and everything is now working fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

That may be what happened to me, as well. If you read my later email, you'll see that at some point, I started getting a useless white screen on KDE, although it continued working on Gnome, which I prefer not to use. Since updates are ordinarily expected to fix problems - not cause them - I usually install any that are for software I'm using. Now that 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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
