May 30th 2008 Some Compiz-Fusion Tips

Little did I know there is a way to specify compiz as your default window manager.

kcontrol -> KDE Components -> Session Manager -> Change the Window manager to compiz

If you still want to be able to configure compiz through fusion-icon, launch it with the -n parameter (-n, –no-start      Run, but do not start a window manager).

If you’re running c-f with an nvidia card (as I am) and you are having some problems with the inactive desktops not refreshing properly, I found that adding:

Option       “UseCompositeWrapper” “true”
to my device section fixed it for me.  Some day nvidia will fix the problem permanently.  I’m using the Beta drivers now and they don’t address the issue.  Next post will be on uploading video from my HD camera to video sites (google and youtube).

May 20th 2008 Some good marriage advice

I read this blog today and it rang pretty true for my limited experience.  I admit that I am guilty of the 50/50 mentality and will work harder to be a 100/100 player.
