I'm running KDE4.2 on Intrepid and I'm a little bit confused when it comes to the desktop 3d-effects: should I use Compiz with KDE4.2 or not? I thought that KDE4 had integrated effects but I can't find any other effect settings than the CompizConfig Settings Manager in the KDE menus (I'm pretty sure that KDE4.1 had one?). Anyway, Compiz works perfectly with KDE4.2 for a couple of minutes until it freezes and I have to reboot :) Back to Gnome..

No, you don't need to use Compiz for your golly-gee-whiz effects in KDE 4.2. The settings are in System Settings -> Desktop -> Desktop Effects. There's quite a bit to play around with.
