Well, I kind of fixed the issue. I started up the Desktop-effects "manager" from the command line. When I tried to enable the effects there were some error messages printed out pointing to XLib Shape extension, I did some googling on it and found the following command as a solution that somebody found: gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool true After running the command I was able to successfully start Desktop-Effects. I hope this helps somebody. -- --------------------------------- Derek Tracy tracyde@xxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------
