kde compiz desktops

[Benson Margulies]

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

KDE's multiple desktop configuration doesn't work with compiz as well as xubuntu's.

In xubuntu, if I have for desktops, I can put a compiz cube in each one.

With KDE, the two of them get into a fight, in which the KDE 'desktop preview' shows 4xN 'desktops', where N is the number of KDE desktops. Clicking in the high-numbered ones causes the compiz cube to spin around crazily.

It would be good if KDE behaved the same way as xubuntu in this regard.

Thank you for filing this bug. There was some work on compiz integration in Hardy. Can you try Hardy and see if you still have this problem?

It looks like KDE is now more like XFCE4.

However, dragging a window from one KDE desktop to another doesn't work. Also, dragging a window 'around the corner of the cube' doesn't work.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

I don't know and can no longer find out.

This package was removed from Intrepid since Kicker is gone, and won't likely be fixed.
