I know its a bit late for posting it but there are still newbies attacking on a wonderfully evolving new Desktop enviornment i.e. KDE 4 and i m sure many of u r still seeking help in using compiz fusion desktop effects in your newly installed KDE4.

Well the steps are really simple.Firstly u need to install all the compiz fusion packages either from the compiz fusion’s site or for openSUSE simply use the XGL repo from the community repositary. Please note that in the new openSUSE 11.0 have removed the XGL layer and has added AIGLX which means no more remembering of the enable/disable commands. The efeects can be simply turned on with the help of fusion-icon of compiz-manager and for a surprise KDE 4 makes it much easier to set programs that have to be started up every time.

To add a program to start up simply open the “configure desktop” option form the K-menu. Next open the “advanced tab” on the top and then click on the “Autostart” icon and then just use “Add Program” button on the right hand side. Now thats wht i call a good desktop experience :)

Now you can add the fusion-icon to the startup and every time u log in u will find its icon in the system tray which will help you simply switch between various Window manager so u can switch on/off the effects from there.

Hope u enjoy the new KDE 4 which is like a revolution in the morden day personal computing :)
