compizfusion icon no the icon with the choixe of window manager ?

[GrantTLC]

Yes, the one with the options for changing window managers, etc. I had to fiddle for a bit to get that to appear last time. This time, there from the start.

@GrantTLC - I was happy with my Fusion for several hours only All of a sudden I lost the window decorations and became so angry with it that I switched it off. And miraculously - my computer accelerated, the browser started working properly again (it was really sllloooow with both Compiz and Beryl). I decided I've had enough of 3D gadgets on my desktop... I prefer to have fast and efficient Linux (as my XP is) than slow and crashing no-good system I think I'll wait for better ATI drivers and final version of Compiz -Fusion. Unless... you come with some solution Good Luck

... I prefer to have fast and efficient Linux (as my XP is) than slow and crashing no-good system Very Happy I think I'll wait for better ATI drivers and final version of Compiz -Fusion.

D'you know what? I was just coming to the same conclusion! Maybe Compiz isn't quite ready for full-time deployment, or maybe I'm just not ready to get it working (Also, I keep getting outbid for the nVidia card I want on eBay ). Linux is lovely enough on the basic Kwin setting - enough to give XP a run for it's money, anyway.

All the best, mate, and Happy Linuxing!

That's right, I also believe that KDE decorations are pretty enough to be happy with your Linux, even without all those extra "fireworks" Let's wait for better times then

Edit:
I managed to start Compiz-Fusion again, this time I know how I did it I emerged the new Compiz-Fusion according to the how-to in Sabayon wiki, activated the 3D desktop acceleration. No decorations - I typed "emerald --replace &" in the console , changed the "kde-window-decorator --replace" in the "windows decorations" in the settings manager to "emerald --replace" and restarted the system. It rebooted ok with the emerald decorations on. It's still rather slow... these are my results in glxgears:
