I haven't gotten that many responses, but here's what I plan to do barring future suggestions. (1) About configuring compiz - I'll stick with gconf. It's not the easiest to use, but certainly easier than dealing with mixed systems. (BTW, I did find the gconf key that controls which plugins are loaded, eventually :-) ) (2) About having a gdm entry to start a compiz + xfce4 session on login. I haven't figured out how to do this yet (I think I will have to do more reading / looking around in my x startup scripts). In the meantime, I cheated and am getting about the same functionality with the xfce4-session manager. (3) A third thing I've noticed is a problem with autohidden panels. I have two - one on the left and one on the bottom. The bottom one works fine, but whenever I have compiz running, the one on the left ignores the mouse pointer and absolutely refuses to come out of hiding. -- Jimmy Wu Registered Linux User #454138 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
