I noticed that too, however, I am not running Compiz.  I am in Jaunty Beta, 
though, and the Desktop Effects are much like Compiz.  I thought about it, but 
everything has to be so exact with Linux, I dismissed the idea.  I could not 
see Desktop Effects being associated with Compiz, unless stated as such.

Jonas, I may have done just that.  I got some advice and forgot who I got it 
from.  I also followed the instructions given and got a good result.  I 
thought I was told to rename kde to kde.org, then reboot and be in a new kde.  
I did not really think about the fact that once there I would not have my 
email to refer to, and forgot the instruction to get back once resolving the 
problem.

When in the new (I think, kde), I found that choosing Xrender instead of 
OpenGL solved my problem.  I can easily set up this desktop to work for me, 
but I lose the email records from the other desktop.  I would prefer to 
retrace my steps and change to Xrender on the other application then delete 
this one.  I would then have my records and a working Desktop Effects.

If you can translate my ramblings into logic, please help me.  I can't think 
of a way to post this problem, due to my memory deficit.  In any event, thanks 
either way.
