I can confirm that our patch has at least two problems: It doesn't detect some
setups capable of running Compiz (e.g. on my machine) and it completely ignores
$KDEWM (which means there's no workaround for now). I'll try to have a look at
those.
For 11.0 I suggest the following: All the compiz-specific stuff is dumped, only
code for selecting _a_ window manager is kept and changed to fall back to kwin
if the configured one fails. The list of usable window managers is provided as
a list of .desktop files listing the command to run it (so that compiz can use
whatever wrapper script it wants). Also a command to detect whether the window
manager can be run at all can be provided, in order to disable such window
managers in the kcontrol module (well, I'm not really sure this is that good
idea, especially given that the only real check is trying to actually run it,
but Dirk seems to want this).
From the compiz side, the wrapper script should not run any fallback but simply
fail if it can't run compiz.
