If you are using the KDE Desktop Environment: In openSUSE 10.21. Create a file called kde-start-compiz in /home/<user>/bin/2. In that file put the following command: compiz ccp & 3. Make kde-start-compiz executable. (Right click -> Properties -> Permissions) Whenever XGL is enabled this file will be automatically executed during KDE startup. |

If you are using the GNOME Desktop Environment: In openSUSE 10.2, change the lines in /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-wm (or /usr/bin/gnome-wm in openSUSE 10.3) that launches compiz, remove gconf from those lines and put ccp instead.They should read something like this: exec /usr/bin/compiz --replace --sm-disable ccp exec /usr/bin/compiz --replace --sm-client-id $SMID ccp |

Plugins and Decorator Configuration
Use compizconfig-settings-manager, a GUI plugin configuration tool. It can be launched with the command ccsm or find it in your menu under Utillities -> Desktop.
Add your preferred window decorator command under ‘decoration’ plugin. Depending on what packages you have installed, the decorator commands available are :
|
|
If you are using the GNOME Desktop Environment:
gtk-window-decorator --replace |
|
|
If you are using the KDE Desktop Environment:
kde-window-decorator --replace |
Or if you just want to use emerald (beryl’s window decorator), then:
emerald --replace
Use emerald-theme-manager to change the window decoration if using emerald decorator.
