Hey there,

I'm currently using Fedora 8 and primarily use Gnome with 
Compiz-Fusion.  I also enjoy going into KDE every once in a while.  
However, I've noticed that Compiz-Fusion wreaks havoc on KDE.  First of 
all, a lot of my programs with status messages (Kopete chat windows, 
Amarok) get garbled text in the status bar and sometimes in the title 
bar.  Second, the pager does not show all of my programs open in other 
desktops.

Also, it appears to ignore my KDE-set Window decorations.

Since KDE 4.0 is going to have its own Composite Manager built in as 
well as many of the same desktop effects as Compiz, I propose that for 
Fedora 9/KDE 4.0 we have Compiz-Fusion not load when the user in in KDE 
(unless they really want it to and then we can have some checkbox they 
can check)

Thanks,
