I would expect it to show me all the windows of the current viewport, not just 
the windows for the screen that has the taskbar......  And, if you configure 
it to auto-hide, I wouldn't expect it to be intermittant.  Should hide when 
it doesn't have focus.  Especially when set to "immediately"

the libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig is installed (version 0.6.0-1.1 X86_64)

I found this snippet:
Alt+F2 Does not work in KDE

    * To start a run dialog in KDE add to ccsm -> General Options -> 
Commands -> Command line 0 -> dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand 
and associate this with "execute command binding" to ALT+F2 in "Actions" tab. 
It works ONLY AFTER deleting the ALT+F2 association for "Execute Run dialog 
field" 

So, I go to ccsm and find the Commands tab.  I enter  dcop kdesktop 
KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand in textEdit box for Command line 0 in 
the "Commands" tab.
The "Associate this with 'execute command binding' to ALT+F2 is confusing.  I 
find the "Actions" tab, and under Commands, I see "run command 0", so this is 
what I set to <alt>F2.  Under General I find the "Run Dialog" set to ALT-F2, 
and disabled it.  I couldn't find a way to delete it.  And I still can't get 
the run dialog.  Isn't the Run Dialog set to ALT-F2 supposed to work?

ALT-F9 for minimize works, ALT-Space works, why not alt-F1 for main menu or 
alt-F2?  The above directions (as best as I could understand) didn't make it 
work either.

I don't know what 'proper' usage would be.   Don't move is pretty straight 
forward, it shouldn't move.  But, there are some instances where this gets 
overridden, like when you use the mouse on upper right corner to switch 
windows.

SHIFT-F9 to toggle is also straight forward, press it once, see the water.  
Press it again, water stops, (but CPU still doing something, until you 
disable to plugin).

Window placement is also pretty straight forward.  Enter the same identifier 
for the the window that the no move rule works with to identify the window 
for placement.  I would think that any other placement aside from what I 
entered means that it didn't listen to what I entered.

So it is supposed to freeze?  (e.g.  won't come back when finished?)

I don't think this is by design.  Shouldn't get in a race state.  I can switch 
to VC and get my CPU back.  I let it sit for hours, to see if it would 
eventually finish as if things were 'queued', but when things got busy, it 
never did recover.  It shouldn't freeze.  chunk - ok.  get slow - ok.  drop 
frames - ok.  give error message - ok.  just freeze, until init 3 / 5, NOT 
ok.

known issue?  good enough.  I know this is development.  I'm happy to 
use/test.  It isn't a show stopper.  This is already better than anything 
else I've ever used.  Not complaining one bit.  Trying to help.  (with what 
little time I have)

Wonderful!  This was it.  I found a few other 'settings' that were in ccsm 
that I just didn't expect, but wasn't a bug.  Just different from default.  
Like the alt-button3 for resize.  No biggie.   Thanks for the info.  worked 
like a charm.



Thank you for your work.
This is a fucking beautiful thing!  Love it!
