The funny thing about kde session manager is NO I cannot select compiz
there. There is only one greyed out option for kwin. I think this is
part of the problem, but I don't know how to cure it. My fusion-icon
script is:
22:13 Rankin-P35a~/.config/compiz> cat fusion-icon
[compiz options]
indirect rendering = true
loose binding = false
[window manager]
active wm = compiz
Which is fine since I'm using the new 8.42.3 driver with AIGLX. My
install is:
22:13 Rankin-P35a~/.config/compiz> rpm -qa | grep compiz
compiz-emerald-themes-0.6.0-1.1
python-compizconfig-0.6.0-1.3
compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.6.0-2.1
compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported-0.6.0-1.3
compiz-0.6.2-2.1
compiz-manager-0.0.1_git071019-13.1
compiz-kde-0.6.2-2.1
compiz-emerald-0.5.2_git070825-1.4
compizconfig-settings-manager-0.6.0-1.4
libcompizconfig-0.6.0-1.3
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.6.0-1.3
From what I understand, with compiz-manager, I should get autostart,
but it doesn't. Further, the compiz-manager script does not seem to be
calling fusion-icon, even though it is supposed to:
22:17 Rankin-P35a~/.config/compiz> grep fusion-icon /usr/bin/compiz-manager
FUSION_ICON=`which fusion-icon`
if [ x$FUSION_ICON = "x/usr/bin/fusion-icon" ] ; then
The concatenation of the x/ seems to be OK for that purpose. I'll keep
testing and see if I can fix it. If you can think of anything else, I
would appreciate your thoughts!
