I had the same problem with getting compiz-fusion to work under xfce and the portage ebuilds. I never used the xeffects overlay for compiz-fusion only for the old beryl. I used this command: compiz --loose-binding --replace ccp && emerald --replace & A strange thing is that it only works when I execute it a few times. The first time I had no window decorations! Another thing is when I want to go back to the xfce window manager the decorations vanished again, the mouse pointer too. I could only bring them back by deleting a few config files in my home-directory. Furthermore the dependency for libwnck was raised a few days ago which resulted in pulling the unstable gtk+ glib and pango packages in. This hosed all my apps requiring gtk which means nearly everything. I downgraded but this did not help. I had to unmerge and then reemerge glib to get things working again. So I think I will leave my fingers from compiz-fusion until it is more stable or anybody knows a solution to this problems! Regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
