I installed the new KDE4 along with gnome. I have compiz working in Gnome. But, I miss Compiz in KDE. Can someone direct me how to enable compiz in KDE4 ?


Thanks in advance ...

I do this:
compiz --replace
And
kwin --replace to cancel

CF needs to be modified with fixes to work on KDE (I know this since I have tried to run non fixed CF on KDE 4). My guide to install CF from GIT will fix the CF installed from GIT. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643485)

Do not worry the latest GIT version of CF is as stable as the one shipped with Gutsy, the only difference is that GIT CF has more features...

Seems to be running fine on my KDE4. Although I am such a fan of the OpenGL compositing effects, its not often that i switch.
