Now when you restart kde it no longer starts compiz automatically and you will get all the window borders and you are able to save the settings using ccsm. Which is not the case when running gnome. Once you run these commands, compiz will work normally just like in KDE but it won't let you save any settings, another words if you run ccsm it won't let you select or unselect any plugins. Compiz command might be a little different for gnome. Gnome will also complain if you run these commands without installing /usr/ports/x11-themes/ubuntulooks first, once you install this it will stop complainning. I will try to find out why I can't use ccsm and if I find out I will let you know. I don't know about KDE, but I am using compiz-fusion (manually) in gnome without having installed ubuntulooks. Thanks for your investigation and feedback. If you come up with a complete set of settings, I will update the article. The only way to fix gnome and get the settings to save was to delete the user and recreate it again. I found out what causes compiz to act weird like this is when you try to run compiz with different options than the ones you gave me. If that happens than you have to recreate the user account. Deleting the .config directory is not enough, don't know why. Do not forget to update your article by adding the "&" at the end of the compiz and emerald commands. If they get run without "&" sign at the end, compiz will start acting weird on you. Thanks for your help, it's working very well now. Thanks, I just updated the article, you may want to have a look at it again. Quick link here: http://store.itsyourftp.com/~sonic2000gr/freebsd/compiz-fusion/article.html I added the "&" and the script for GNOME. I found out compiz-fusion saves setting in gconf, if you have it compiled with "gconf support" (like I did). My guess is if this is not selected, it will use the .compizconfig folder. I have not tested this though (but maybe will recompile just to see). It is quite possible that deleting the apps/compiz key in gconf will restore any weird behaviour, instead of actually recreating the user. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't have KDE installed on this machine, so can't test with this. Thanks again for your feedback. Actually just found out there are three different backends for saving settings, according to their wiki: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/CCSM#head-340a755b8f870831a20b51544a116f6dc4795735 namely gconf, KConfig and flat files (look at the bottom of the page) I have compiled compiz-fusion with gconf support, the settings in gconf-editor are under apps/compiz. You may wish to check what options you used during compilation. I will update the article tomorrow to reflect all this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
