Did you enable kdm.service? Did you check everything on the KDE wiki page?
systemctl enable kdm.service
Then restart.
For the record, I'm running KDE 4.10 and it runs very smoothly here on my end.
My system was running well to, but after formating every thing went to hell. I'll format again tomorrow, and follow the wiki to the letter to see if if i can figure out what's going on.
Mhh why would you use compiz with KDE? Kwin can all those funny wobbly window, cube stuff too.
There was some discussion on arch-dev-public about dropping compiz.
That's a shame, I've used both, and in my opinion, compiz is far superior.
Edit: I was running this command ( systemctl enable kdm.service) from with in my desktop environment, which apparently, is a no go. Thanks for the help
