Thanks guys....very helful. All of it really help me. I found that the 6 desktops and all the other settings were adjustable one I found the GUI for the XGL/Compiz controls. Before any of returned theses answers I loaded up Gnome and then did a search for "control center" in Beagle...and there it was...but I guess there is not KDE XGL GUI for it. Novell tells me that in early May SLED (Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop) is getting a major service pack that will include lots of KDE add-ons....including XGL. As you know, SLED currently only really supports Gnome....but according to them...that's changed to equal support and functionality to the KDE desktop as well.
Thanks again guys for all your help.
