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).
