Please update Compiz page

Hi,

I think the Compiz page (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz) should have a notice on it to use Compiz-Fusion (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_fusion) instead.  I was fighting with Compiz for hours trying to get it to work (the whole no window border issue). I'm not sure how but I managed to find the Compiz Fusion page eventually. After installing the compiz-fusion package everything just worked instantly (not sure if it's because of previous compiz/emerald packages already installed).

Thanks

Re: Please update Compiz page

Get an account for the wiki and add your suggestions! but we should look into your compiz issue first, otherwise the advice isn't too helpful.

Compiz-fusion is just compiz with extra plugins... the issue should be the same, unless you happen to use a different window decorator (gtk window decorator vs emerald) for either distribution.

But there already is a mention of compiz fusion on the wiki page. Perhaps the place to add your quasi-solution (I think you just changed to a window decorator that was not broken (due to configs?)) is in the compiz troubleshooting page

About your original problem: maybe the issue was this
