Does this mean that compiz-as-compositor (with, say, xmonad) is no > longer possible? not at all, you'll just have to do it manually or in your startup script or whatever. desktop-effects ran compiz-gtk, which is a wrapper script that calls gtk-window-decorator as well as compiz, in any case; so desktop-effects was not a good way to run just compiz (with no decorator) anyway. it may have worked for you if you somehow managed to hide gtk-window-decorator from it, or something, but that would be more by accident than by design. :) as I understand things, anyway. Let me know if I have the wrong end of the stick somewhere. desktop-effects was only ever meant to be a way to launch compiz in a specific context - as the compositing manager and window manager for a GNOME desktop. it was never designed, or suitable, for launching compiz for any other use. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
