[opensuse] Compiz - Why are 16 desktop icons (13 "desktop 1" icons) in the taskbar?
Sorry for the barrage of Compiz questions, But I have to ask one more. I have 16 small desktop icons in the taskbar with compiz running. They are directly related to the ccsm -> desktop -> General Option -> Desktop Size settings. The behavior of these setting does not make complete sense. Currently I have "Horizontal Virtual Size" set to 4 and "Number of Desktops" set to 4. (Yes, I can multiply) What does not make sense is that the icons in the taskbar tell you they represent desktops 1-4 (sequentially), and then you have 12 more "desktop 1" icons that follow? Huh? Setting "Number of Desktops" to 1 eliminates the 12 other "desktop 1" icons, but then just leaves you with 4 "desktop 1" icons. Setting Horizontal Virtual Size to less than 4 simply reduces the number of sides on your Desktop Cube accordingly. Horizontal Virtual Size = 1 eliminates the desktop cube altogether. What seems to be an unintended feature or bug occurs when you use the title bar context menu to "Move to Another Workspace". For some applications, Firefox in particular, moving the application seems to send it to oblivion never to be seen again. This all may be as intended, or it may be a bug in the interchange between the kde "move to desktop" and the compiz "Move to Another Workspace". For the compiz gurus, Is this how things are supposed to work, or does this look like something I need to file as a bug? I don't know enough to know, but I am happy to help and file the report if one is needed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

ARRGH!, I tried that and it killed compiz and I can't get it back. What is crazy this that I have since reinstalled libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig and I can't get compiz to start. It bombs somewhere during startup. I did manage to catch part of the error. It was GL..fb compiz core error. I think my next move is to uninstall and reinstall all of compiz. Before I do, can you think of anything else to check? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

That is very strange since all libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig gives is libkconfig.so as a backend, nothing more. Did you check the libGL.so.1.2?

How did you do the installation? If re-installed using 1-Click, I think that may have caused it.. If you just did sudy zypper install libcompizyadayada.. Then I am not sure why it would have added that. Ben..

Ben, I have done probably 3 1-click installs and I suspect that is the culprit. The reinstalls were done after compiz died and I did rpm -e of the system and then reinstalled with 1-click. I suspect rpm-e does not remove the usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.old which led to the problem. P.S. I'm back up and running with 3 caveats: (1) compiz still does not autostart (fusion-icon manual start required) (no /opt/kde3/share/autostart/compiz.desktop created) (2) the cube has grown. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-rotate.png http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-rotate1.png (3) all the little guys jumped out of the boat again... -- David C.
