Remove it." > fi The problem is that compiz might be installed and not running, or that a recent kwin / metacity / <insert name of xfce4 windows manager here> with compositing enabled might be used. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager#List_of_compositing_window_managers for a list The only really effective method would be a way to query the current Windows manager to see if it supports compositing. If anyone know of a scriptable way to do this please let me know. > What's wrong with $USER? What exactly do you need this for, anyway? I don't trust environment variables that can be set by the user. (I know that $USER is not always defined, based on a script (bash of a .bashrc on Solaris rather) I have that sets the terminal title to $USER@`hostname` - ip (It works fine 90% of the time, but break with certain methods of changing user ('su -' IIRC))) Mainly to see whether the user is running as root. > >> I thought the group info might be useful for troubleshooting... > > Not particularly.

And that would be detectable by "Does your audio work in other program? / Does glxgears run?" Anyone with suggestion for detecting a running pulseaudio / esd? (ps is not a nice option due to some versions accepting only BSD / Sys-V style arguments) A new version is attached, mainly adding some graphics card info, fixing $WINE behaviour.
