HowTo: Enable KWin compositing with Raster-compiled Qt 4.5.0 RC

If you are running Qt 4.5.0 RC, compiled with `-graphicssystem raster', and would like to enable KWin compositing, you may do so with this quick and dirty hack (it worked for me, anyway):

1) Rename your current `kwin' executable:

# mv /usr/bin/kwin /usr/bin/kwin.orig

2) Create a script to execute KWin with `-graphicssystem native':

# cat >> /usr/bin/kwin <<'EOF'
#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/kwin.orig -graphicssystem native $@
EOF

3) Finally, make the script executable:

# chmod +x /usr/bin/kwin

...AND...restart KDE
