Try "emerald --replace" or "gtk-window-decorator --replace" as a normal user (ie with su or sudo) (The gtk-window-decorator doesn't work that well for me. I get an extra white band near my panels. emerald works just fine.) > Further update. I ran sudo compiz-manager from the run dialog and as > long as I am in compiz, everything is fine.

There is a confusion between "Workspaces" & "Viewports". See this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/153322 Try setting the number of metacity workspaces to 1 (you can use gconf and navigate to /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces). Then in the Compiz Settings Manager go to General Options >> Desktop Size set Horizontal Virtual Size to 4, Vertical Virtual Size to 1 and Number of Desktops to 1. -- Regards OSRIC XAVIER FERNANDES Registered Linux User #442219 Gentoo Linux 2007.0 --- ... .-. .. -.-. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
