Hi All, First off, I've just started using compiz and its fantastic... I'm using compiz with KDE (on FC6), all is OK apart from one small niggle which is when I use the scale or switcher plugins it includes my kicker windows (the desktop panels) in the list, which isn't so pretty. I don't know much about gconf, but poking around in the settings for compiz and found that these plugins do have a list of window types they include. Experimenting with removing the types I found that the kicker is a "Normal" window. Unfortunately so is everything else... Maybe I'm on the wrong track (?) but I think I just need to configure something to redefine the type of window the KDE "kicker" is ? I cannot though figure out how this is done - Could someone point me the right way, or if I am completely wrong tell me what I should be trying to do. cheers Chris

Unfortunately so is everything else...Hm, "xprop | grep _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE" and clicking the kicker window gives you _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL? It should probably be _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK. -David

Hello, i'm new on this list. I just switch from beryl to compiz and i can give you some information about the kicker bug. http://bugs.beryl-project.org/ticket/539 In fact, scale plugin scale kicker if it can be covered even if _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK ! Cedric
