    Re: A hack to show minimized windows in Compiz's Scale plugin

    Tried Lucid Remix alpha 3 tonight (in Virtualbox) and couldn't get 3D effects to work properly. Hopefully, it's a fixable bug and it'll iron itself out down the line.

    Not really a fan of the netbook releases. Too restrictive, in my opinion.

    I have upgraded to the lucid netbook beta, and the script at first made my netbook-launcher interface disappear, leaving me with an "ordinary" desktop. To fix this, I added 'x-nautilus-desktop' to "blackList" in the script. Now all's well again .

    Tried it on lucid Desktop beta1 and there seems to be quite a few unmet dependencies to the python-gnome2extras package. Downloaded only the wctrl and xwit packages and ran the script and it works like a charm. Many thanks to Greg T.

    Re: A hack to show minimized windows in Compiz's Scale plugin

    Hey guys,
    I'm trying to make this work for me, but since I'm new by Ubuntu and Linux at all, so I have some difficulties. This what I get when I try to install the -extras and -wnck packeges:

    Code:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Package python-gnome2-extras is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    However the following packages replace it:
      python-gtkspell python-gtkmozembed python-gksu2 python-gdl python-gda
      python-eggtrayicon
    E: Package python-gnome2-extras has no installation candidate
    Am I doing something wrong or the package is missing?
    I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx and have the ccsm installed and running right.
    Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hmmm.... python-gnome2-extras may no longer be a dependency. I just noticed that it's no longer on my system. A little research suggests it was removed when I updated to 10.4.

    About a year ago, python-wnck was split out of python-gnome2-extras. Without it, python-gnome2-extras may no longer be needed. I've updated the instructions to remove it, as it no longer is available for download.

    I know your message indicates that you also had trouble installing the -wnck package, but your error message was specific to python-gnome2-extras. Try the revised instructions and see if you have better fortune this time around.

    Hey, Greg T.!

    Worked perfectly this time. Unfortunately I have a slow CPU and it's not going very smoothly, but this is my issue.

    Thank you for the great feature and the support!
