I think I remember seeing one or two differnt GUI utilities for compton but I don't think they made it into the repos and with ppas not being build for powerpc I am not sure if there are builds for them. Sometimes compiling a GUI from source is harder than just editing the config files. I seem to remember one a while back called paranoid that came with pclinuxos but have not really seen that elsewhere or widely discussed. I think I know quite a bit for someone who doesn't really like compositing or desktop effects. -- Brendan Perrine <walteror...@gmail.com> -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
