The wiki instructions for installing Xgl worked too.

I'm extremely interested in Xgl.  I didn't know it was hanging around
Gentoo.  Can you send me the link?

Then I discovered what gnome-window-decorator does in KDE.  Not pretty.  :-(
I figured I could live:
* with old fashioned decorations,
* without my background image,
* with my panel stretching across both monitors,
* with windows opening centered on the desktop vs on a display,
* with some brain dead right mouse desktop popup menu.

Can you try and get me some more detailed info?  I'm a information
gatherer for the Xgl project.  I'm supposed to be ensuring that it has
perfect integration with KDE.

But I couldn't live with a dead X the next morning.  So bye-bye Xgl.

Even more interesting...  Could you get some more info for me there
too?  Perhaps a few clips from the log file?

Now what I'd really like is to be able to switch between X+KDE and Xgl+gnome
sessions.  I don't really see how to do this with one display manager.
Not sure how to configure to run multiple display managers. Currently I use xdm to run kdm.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, I took a spur of the moment vacation.

The instructions for XGL are at:

I'll run another test this evening of Xgl+KDE to capture details.

Thank you,
Roy
