Hi Ivan!
I used one of this Howtos, I don't remember which one:
http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz
http://sonique54.free.fr/xgl/xgl.htm
BUT, I think Compiz xgl is for gnome. I remember that once I executed
it on KDE and it changed the windows schemes to a gnome ones. Maybe
there are some options in the config files somewhere, but I haven't
check anything...
Good luck!
Greetings!

Hi Inko,
thanks for the advice. Could you point me to a how-to for installation
of xgl + compiz (preferrebly + KDE) on Debian? I found some repository,
but nothing useful. How did you install those?
Cheers,
Ivan
