Visual Effects Tab is Where?

Is there not supposed to be a visual effects tab in the new Gnome 2.24 update? I have went into gconf and set Metacity to be a compositor, but I still can't find the visual effects tab to customize the settings.

Thanks in advance.

Think you need to edit this in gconf

I've never actually seen any visual effects tab except in Ubuntu, and that was their own doing...

Oh. I knew it was in Ubuntu, but I thought it was a Gnome 2.24 thing. Sorry for the confusion!

Do you happen to know what the key is?

There is no key...the 'Visual Effects' tab is something specific to Ubuntu. The Metacity compositor is not something you can really configure. It just gives you a few basic effect. To configure Compiz, you'll need to install ccsm from the repos. I repeat: there is no visual effects tab in any distribution other than Ubuntu (and perhaps its derivatives).

If you mean what key turns on the composite manager it's:

apps -> metacity -> general -> compositing_manager

Just load up gconf and check that box. Oooh, pretty!

Oh cool, never new about that.
