[Edited] Workspace buttons too wide due to Compiz-Fusion?

Surgat_ · 2007-08-22 16:40:00

Hello there!

Yesterday I installed Compiz Fusion from AUR following the wiki article and since then, when I start KDE or any tray app, the tray icons appear on the desktop in a separate window, like this:

As you can see, the only icon that appears on the tray is the amsn one, while the KMix appears in a separate small window on the upper left corner. Anyone knows how can I solve this?

Thank you
Bye!

Im using KDEmod too and my screen looks similiar to yours. But the only broken things are the extremly wide workspace buttons.

I don't know how, but it's solved, although the workspace buttons are still too wide. Anyone knows why?

- compiz is still a work in progress
- its kde compatibility is not very good

You can install kdemod-applets and use the compiz pager, maybe it works...

my impression with compiz is that you really dont need the pager.. I mean there are different plugins that shows all desktops at once. When I used beryl, I never felt the need for the pager. I just either used the cube (since I found it to be so fun..) or the movie fold plugin.

While using fusion icon, it works ok. It outputs this command:

compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering

You might want to try that removing things like indirect rendering etc.

Sorry but what is the pager?

The "workspace buttons".

If you start compiz fusion before KDE, it works. Make a directory in your .kde folder called env. Now make a script in that called compiz.sh. Put this in it:

#!/bin/bash
KDEWM="your-command-to-start-compiz"

Now make it executable. Restart KDE and it should be fixed!

compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &

works for me. thanks

I have tried the compiz.sh but kde never ends starting. I enter login and pass and some seconds later it comes back to the login window. I have tried compiz --replace ccp & and compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &. Why doesn't it start?

Thanks
