shame,
Thanks. Busy now, but I'll try your suggestion and report back in the morning (I'm on UTC+10). |

shame,
I confirmed the settings, as you suggested. That was how I already had them.
It seems to be a pager problem, as c-f opens with only one desktop showing in the pager. If I reconfigure to 2.3.4.etc. desktops, then back to one, the pager then shows 4 desktops as it should.
I don't understand what you mean by starting c-f from an x-session. At login, I boot a KDE session, then c-f autostarts (as I configured it to).
BTW, you're one of the ones whom I really appreciate. |

Yeah, by starting from an xsession, c-f starts before kde so it make make all the difference, though personally, the switcher shows normally for me however I start it.
One thing though, what is the method you use for starting c-f? |

Are you and paleoflatus using the regular kde pager?
I remember in the early days of beryl there was a trick to getting it to work normally but I can't remember it (anyone else?)
As for the konsole true-transparency patch, could you refresh my memory as to what this does exactly?
You can set konsole to transparent using CCSM, though the text would also be transparent, is that the difference? |

shame,
I don't know how to start c-f directly from an x-session.
I originally did
Control Centre - KDE Components - Autostart Manager
and entered
fusion-icon.
Autostart Manager entry:
(Name)fusion-icon...(Type)link...(Command)/usr/bin/fusion-icon...(Run on)Startup
/home/bob/.kde/Autostart contains a symlink "fusion-icon" pointing to /usr/bin/fusion-icon (Python Program)
I hope that's OK. |

| To both of you with multiple desktop problems, could you try starting compiz in a konsole like this:
Code:
compiz.real --replace --ignore-desktop-hints ccp & emerald --replace &
That's assuming you are using the flat-file backend and emerald.
If not, replace cpp or emerald as appropriate.
The important bit here is --ignore-desktop-hints
Then let me know if the pager shows correctly. |

shame,
I removed the original entry from Autostart, reverted from c-f to KDE, ran your command in yakuake, did a complete reboot, re-entered KDE and c-f then loaded automatically (without the compiz icon).
The cube was there and worked fine, but the pager still showed only one desktop.
I went to Configure Desktops, changed to 2 desktops, then back to one desktop and it's now working fine, with all four cube sides represented in the pager again.
What's the flat-file backend? |

compiz fusion has 3 different configuration backends:
flat-file, kconfig (kde) and gconf (gnome)
The flat-file is generally the default backend but if using fusion-icon or compiz-manager to start, it may use the kconfig backend.
Switching from kde backend to flat-file, and vice-versa may solve the pager problem.
You can select the backend in CCSM > Preferences > Backend
Though this may mean your settings will revert to default so worth backing up ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig first.
The --ignore-desktop-hints trick I mentioned before is supposed to fix the multiple desktops problem but would need to be run each time compiz is started.
Personally, I made a very small script with this entry
Code:
#!/bin/sh
__GL_YIELD="NOTHING" compiz.real --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp & emerald --replace &
and I use that mini-script to start up compiz to make sure it uses the parameters I want it to, rather than letting fusion-icon do it automatically. |

i use the kde-pager... no big deal here, because i rarely use workspaces.
When you choose a transparent color scheme for konsole, you only see the wallpaper, not true transparency. with the patch, you did see the real background, other windows etc. Package name was konsole-alpha.. and now that i search for it, i dont find it. I felt like i saw it in your repos, but i could have mixed up something here :-/
[edit] i searched for kicker-compiz and kicker-taskmanager and cannot find them.. arent these in amd64? |

kicker-compiz and the other one (forgot it's proper name) were in the old beryl repo but aren't in the compiz fusion repo as the kde kicker works differently now and they shouldn't be needed (though clearly some people are still having problems).
konsole alpha has never been in my repos (I think it was in Trevino's ubuntu repo for a while).
You could try this though:
CCSM > General Options > Opacity Settings
Under "Window Opacities", click on "Add"
In the popup box enter:
Code:
(name=konsole)
and set "Opacity window values" to your desired level (about 65-75 should be ideal).
That will give you real transparent konsole, though the entire konsole window will be transparent, not just the background.
If that's not quite what you're after I'll have a look at konsole alpha and see what I can do.
<EDIT>
Having looked around, it seems the konsole alpha patch doesn't work with more recent versions of kde.
Also, it requires/required a patch and rebuild of kdebase and I would be very reluctant to mess with such a major important package.
If you REALLY want it I could probably figure something out and sent it to you by PM. |

I have rebuilt the packages in my repos against the new python stuff and have just finished uploading so everything should upgrade normally now.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with switching desktops with the switcher or mousewheel crashing compiz (though switching using expo or manually rotating cube is ok).
Not sure if this is a problem in compiz or my packages yet but it should hopefully be fixed soon.
<EDIT>
Turns out it's the freewins plugin causing problems again. If you don't have freewins (freely transformable windows) or disable it everything should be working fine. |
