Thanks for the writing. I followed the steps and I think that I have all the files that I need. but now when I try to start compiz a pop up comes up saying "Dbus Failed to load, Compiz is not running. The dbus plugin can not be activated unless compiz is running." When I run compiz from the konsole the windows comes up without frames. This means that the minimize or maximize button does not show up, including the title bar. What should I do?

I get the same thing. BTW, I found compiz & xgl slowed things down so much I figured life wasn't long enough and removed the lot. My box is running on reasonably smart hardware with 1G RAM.

Well, I guess that will have to make 2 of us. I think this is happening because I did not make a fresh install but an upgrade over the internet, which is fine. I finally got it working but I know there are a lot of things missing because is not working the way it should be, like in gnome. But any how, i think I will have to wait for the future. thanks for the reply
I installed Compiz last night and had exactly the same issue. I also got corrupt logon and logoff screens so I tried to remove it. That just hosed the system totally so I'll be clean installing tonight, lol. I think I'll wait for KDE4
Yep, and it still did not work. It was working fine in Gnome, but I do not like gnome, I do like KDE. I just deleted compiz all toguether. I guess I will be using it in the future. Thanks a lot.
Hi,
I've had similar problems and what fixed it for my was to reinstall my video driver (nvidia). After that I uninstalled all of compiz (libs as well) and then reinstalled. Before trying to restart compiz, I rebooted my box to make sure it comes up and gives me kde. It did. I then did alt-F2 and typed in compiz --replace. The screen went blank (and my heart was in my throat) but then all my wobbly windows came into view.
Since then, I have rebooted several times and compiz starts up all by itself and runs without issue.
