    Or you can just use Compiz + KDE. I used to do that for a number of years. Worked like a charm.

    KWin is only a small part of KDE after all.
    Used to do that myself. I've been mainly running Gnome for 5 months now though.

      Worx for me too

        Okay what about freeze and hangs with konqueror and other kde apps? Occasionally when I e.g. type in an address into konquerors address-bar, it sometimes hangs for about 6 sec, before it works normally again.

          I might do that. Sounds like the best solution at this moment.

            I have this when mounting /home via NFS and the network is flaky.

            Could it be that it is having problems writing .temp files? It sounds like it's hitting some kind of timeout in any case. Could theoretically be caused by waiting for dbus, but I really have no clue.

              I have no idea, but when I first heard about a dbus bug I thought that was the reason

                I used to run compiz instead of KWin by installing Compiz (obviously ) then adding a file called compiz.sh into .kde/env with the following contents.

                Code:
                #!/bin/bash
                
                # Use compiz as the windows manager.
                export KDEWM=/usr/bin/compiz.real
                It'll also need to be executable.

                • If the ".conf" wasn't obvious enough; take a look at Firefox' User Agent switcher plugin... What I means was have Mesa expose a config file in which an enduser can let Mesa say what it can do. So for example if Mesa exposes functionality I'm not happy with (say like with Kwin), I can comment out the extention so that Kwin would behave OK.

                    Sounds like MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE

                      I write the best code I can, but sometimes it's just impossible due to ancient libs. A specific (but off topic in this case) example I can give a project of mine that tries to work as best as it can using Qt 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7. But guess what? Debian comes with the outdated 4.4. No matter how good my code is, on Debian the application looks like ass on Gnome. But on Ubuntu, it looks as native as any Gtk app would.

                      So right back at ya: learn what it takes to develop software or shut up.

                      Using Debian for development is a bad idea unless you update it with new versions of libs (backports or whatever.)
