Umm, I believe it should...I am thinking something isn't right with your compiz install. > > > Of course that plugin does require you to be running compiz... > > Well, I tried that.

Fraid I don't know much about compiz. I just searched for problems with my hardware and when I didn't find anything major I just installed the deb packages then added 'fusion-icon' as a startup program in my session preferences. I then thanked the developers and went on my merry way to play with my new eye-candy. Anyone out there able to provide more help for Lee?
