Hi!

I just assume, that you want to have those nice 3D Desktops, wobbly windows
and what not. I did that by simply adding the Bery Repositories and then
install beryl (and beryl-manager and emerald, I think). I don't have my
KUbuntu System handy, so I can't exactly tell you the correct address to the
repo, but I think it was something like http://ubuntu.berylproject.com. Have
a look at the Source-o-matic (google it) and you will find the address to
the repo. This is a way for Beryl, so not sure if it's what you want to
have. Also you have to have 3D support enabled, but I guess you know that
;-)

Cheers
