I have compiz+emerald working fine, but performance is dismal on a similar-hardware system: AMD Athlon64 3400+ nVidia GeForce 6200 (my old GF 6800GT burned out on me) Cheers Hey,

Can you post your resulting xorg.conf? I have compiz+emerald working fine, but performance is dismal on a similar-hardware system:

AMD Athlon64 3400+
nVidia GeForce 6200 (my old GF 6800GT burned out on me)

It certainly isn't all KDE crap, mostly it is lib*-dev packages. There is a bunch of gnome/GTK packages in your list along with core dev packages and the Mesa OpenGL dev packages. I can't quite see why a text editor like kate would be listed as a build dependency! interesting question. It certainly isn’t all KDE crap, mostly it is lib*-dev packages.

If you don't have the icon, open a terminal and type metacity --replace. This will restart the standard wm. Compiz-Fusion is still pre-release code is isn't perfect but it works for me most of the time. Occasionally I have to reload the window manager or switch back to metacity - usually when I have a lot of apps running and memory is getting scarce... Cheers Alan @Hyperair,

The instructions to get git are in the first line of my post: sudo apt-get install git-core automake build-essential intltool libtool python-pyrex python2.5-dev. If you are having trouble compiling specific compiz packages then you need to explain the issue and your best bet for help is probably to start a thread on their forum explaining your problem.
