radioz Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) I have compiz enabled on my fresh install of 2009.1 (with recent updates) and despite disabling the 'Wobbly Windows' setting in Desktop/System Settings, my windows still wobble when moved. Is there any way to disable this short of disabling compiz? I like some of the other effects. Thanks, radioz [moved from Software by spinynorman] Edited July 25, 2009 by radioz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 The compiz configuration manager allows to enable or disable the wobbly windows. If they still wobble... are you sure you are using compiz and not metisse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioz Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Compiz Fusion is selected in the Control Center, and 'Wobbly Windows' is de-selected in the 'Desktop Settings/System Settings/Desktop Effects/All Effects' tab. Is there some other configuration that I need to modify? Thanks for the help! radioz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hmm...disable compiz, remove the hidden file /home/username/.config/compiz and reenable compiz afterwards, then try if it fails again. Basically, a simple click should disable the wobbling windows. At least it does on my machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioz Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well, I removed /home/<username>/.config/compiz/compizconfig/config (while compiz was disabled) but it had no effect after re-enabling compiz again. It still wobbles, despite being turned off. The contents of the config file are: [kde4_session] backend = ini profile = and that's it. It seems pretty simplistic; it doesn't look like it provides any config info regarding wobbling. Does anyone know what other config files I should be checking?

{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 You also need to disble it in CompizConfig Settings Manager. If you don't have it, install the ccsm package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonseth17 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 yep that could be it...I've always installed ccsm because it allows to manage the settings and effects easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioz Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Ahh...that was it! Here I was expecting to be able to edit Compiz settings from within KDE, but that does not work. It is slightly annoying that ccsm does not show up in the application menu. But typing ccsm in a terminal brings it up and sure enough, 'wobbly windows' was enabled in the configuration. Turning that off solved my problem. Thanks guys for all your help. I'm still learning KDE4. radioz p.s. Is there a way to mark a topic as solved? (never mind, I figured it out) Edited July 25, 2009 by radioz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Oh, ccsm ain't visible in KDE4? Wow... I thought you had it all configured through ccsm. :unsure: Because, in Gnome, ccsm always shows up in the systems-menu. You can make a shortcut to the application in order to make the access to it easier - or edit the menu accordingly. At least, that was possible in KDE 3.5, but I guess the option is not gone in KDE 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 It is slightly annoying that ccsm does not show up in the application menu.It should show up under Applications--> Tools. If not you can always install Fusion-Icon that gives you easy access via the system tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
