Xnest simply doesn't support the composite extension that is required to
run compiz. Compiz is a compositing window manager and none of the
effects that compiz plugins provide could be implemented without this X
server extension.
You can use Xgl if you want to run an X server in a window that support
all the extensions required by compiz.

Re: [compiz] about matchbox + compiz solution

Would you please give me some suggestion. > Thanks. I assume you want to use matchbox because it's lightweight and designed to work well with small displays. The effects that exist in compiz plugins require OpenGL so there's no way you can avoid that dependency. Other than that, compiz's modular design allows it to be as lightweight as matchbox and whatever special functionality you need that matchbox provides could be added to compiz through plugins. If there's anything in compiz core, other than the OpenGL dependency, that makes matchbox more appropriate for you, I'm very interested in fixing that. My suggestion is that you use compiz as windows manager and we'll make sure it fits your needs. Its modular design should make that straightforward. - David ___ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz

When I maximize a window and then try to move it to another viewport, the cube rotates but the maximized window disappears instead of moving along to the new viewport. The maximized window can be found using the scale plugin (only on show-all action). Further, if I then try to unmaximize the window, the window again disappears and I have to use scale's show-all action. Now, however the window appears in some random almost out of viewport location and I have to drag it back into position.

Thanks for tracking this down, Mike. > I can still see a problem when moving windows across viewports when they are off the top of the screen. To reproduce, put window off the top of the screen and then use Right to move with it. The window gets put off the bottom of the screen.

[compiz] Allow core functions to be activated on hotcorners
Recently there was a suggestion that the "Show Desktop" plugin could be activated on a hotcorner. I noticed that there is now a core interface for this - otherwise known as "Hide all windows and focus the desktop." This can be activated with Ctrl-Alt-D. However - it cannot be activated with a hotcorner - which could be useful for people who do not have a "Hide all windows and Show the desktop" on thier panel. I then noticed that none of these options could be activated with a hotcorner. Is it possible to activate core funtions with a hotcorner? ___ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
