Carl, I'm not sure if a compositing manager is started by default on openSUSE 11.1 Beta4.

AFAIK Gnome uses compiz if desktop effects have been enabled. In KDE4 the compositing manager is integrated (into kwin?).

There were some discussions to enable desktop effects by default for a whitelist of drivers depending on the graphics chip in use. It might be
enabled for 965GM by default.

Anyway, Dan said in the Novell Bugzilla report and in this one as well that he has desktop effects not enabled.

BTW, I noticed that Composite extension has not been enabled at all through
xorg.conf.

  Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "on"
  EndSection

is missing in Dan's xorg.conf. Have this extension enabled is not the default
of xorg-server 1.5.2.
