the effects doesnt seem to work.. even if i turn on the wobbly window my window doesnt wobble..

Well you actually need to *start* compiz :-)

Is fusion-icon running? You should get an icon similar to this in your system tray: http://blogs.sun.com/erwann/resource/fusion-icon.png and it should have an option to switch between different window managers installed on your system. If fusion-icon isn't running, start it by running 'fusion-icon &' in a terminal and then try using the icon to switch to compiz.

sir adam there's a note on the readme file of the compiz where the fusion-icon is optional.. and i dont have the fusion-icon source..

is there a command which i can start my compiz without installing fusion-icon? and if theres none where can i find fusion-icon source?

i saw this one on the net http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...icon/20080312/

could i just download the .tgz then installpkg it? or do i need other version?

adamk75 · 12-23-2009, 06:27 AM

That version of fusion-icon will probably work just fine. You can also start compiz with this command:

compiz --replace --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
