problems with compiz

I'm a kde user but I installed gnome today alongside it to try out xgl.
I have two problems.

1. I use default init 5 so I tried to get gdm to work with xgl but each time gdm starts, I get an error that display 1 is used, I press ok, it tries to use display2 then says display2 is in use.
I changed default init to init 3 and I can startxgl

2. When I right click on desktop within gnome/compiz, it zooms in. I don't want it to zoom in as I need the right click menu.

So, my questions are:
1. How do I get xgl to work under gdm?
2. How do I make right click on desktop not zoom in but show the 'right click conext menu instead?

Re: problems with compiz

1.http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl#Method_1_-_GDM_uses_XGL ( use first method!! )
2.Dunno..

I use gnome and it doest zoom in.. to zoom in.. I press superkey + scrollwheel.. so check your keybindings..

PS: I use display :0 instead of the :1 which the guide and people tell me to.. cause i couldnt get it working on :1 for some reason
