KDE and Compiz

[Paul Rumelhart]

I'm not sure what I did to get it this way, but I run compiz on both 
Hardy Heron at home and Gutsy Gibbon at work, running kubuntu, without 
the need to manually launch it every time.  I know I had to install some 
extra packages, particularly at least one package to let me configure it 
more thoroughly.  I am running KDE 3.5.9 at home right now with compiz 
running without problems.

Here is the list of compiz packages I have installed:

compiz-extra
compiz-dev
compiz-gtk
compiz-kde
compizconfig-backend-gconf
compiz-fusion-bcop
compiz-plugins
compizconfig-settings-manager
compiz-bcop
compizconfig-backend-kconfig
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-compcomm-plugins-main
compiz
compiz-core
compiz-fusion-plugins-main
compiz-gnome
