Hi Marty,

I played a bit with compiz on my old aspireone since yesterday. Compare
to xcompmgr, it was faster by my eye! :)

And I understood what do you mentioned in this mail. The workspace
switcher and application bar don't work correctly as it thoughts it's
only on one desktop.

@Klaus, did you do any magic to make workspace switcher works in Knoppix?

Kindly regards,

-Andrew
