Hi, > So Compiz is in itself a window manager?
Yes, it is, and you generally use it in conjunction with Gnome, Kde, Xfce or another "desktop". Your message made me smile because I just tried Compiz-fusion yesterday. Very impressive in the first look, much eye candy, some features can be useful (like zooming or setting transparency dynamically). But after several hours of tweaking, I realised that I was trying to make it behave like dwm. And it was much more difficult to do it with Compiz. So I switched back to the original :-) -- Julien
