I've been using Kubuntu for a while now, around 6-7 months and recently upgraded from Edgy to Feisty. I've always preferred the KDE look over GNOME although it seems that some amount of stability is sacrificed with KDE. That said the killer apps in KDE are just too darn hard to ignore...Amarok and Konversation are by far the best pieces of software i've ever come across and they keep me firmly wedded to KDE.
Now i've been trying to get Compiz to run on Feisty, with Ubuntu its a no-brainer..but with Kubuntu, it just seems to be darn impossible. Installing Beryl is a far far easier task and works great...except that it dosent give me the "required" eye-candy as far as animated menus are concerned. And also that Beryl is a little unstable compared to Compiz.
Why is installing Compiz such a pain in the a#$ compared to Beryl? Even though they share a lot of similarities? I've been to countless forums at Compiz and over here trying to get some solution. The kde-window-decorator just simply doesn't work!! I'm using an Nvidia FX5200 card with all the glx drivers installed...but I can't seem to get past the stage where I loose all window decorations when I invoke Compiz as my WM through the Beryl Manager. While changing over to Beryl gives me back he window decorations.
Can someone help me with this?
