Yes. It is updated and this time better smoothness and performance. Before it loads gnome-window-decorator, now its cgwd. custom-generic-window-decorator Basically if you have compiz and xgl working, you dont need to do much. (Atleast for me) Just change the startup script. If you dont have cgw, you may try the cvs. cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@metascape.afraid.org:/cvsroot co cgwd This is how my script looks like. Whats in bold are the changes you have to make cgwd to load at start-up. #!/bin/sh # Start up Xgl, compiz, and GNOME # Run Xgl server on :1, on top of normal X Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv -accel glx:pbuffer & # Tell subsequent X programs to access the Xgl server at :1 DISPLAY=:1 # Start Compiz window manager cgwd & cgwd & compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher & # Start GNOME exec gnome-session To get the themes install gcompizthemer and its theme presets.

Hmm, Its been a while I have been trying Linux namely Ubuntu Dapper. Impressive. Easy and ofcourse EyeCandy. Lemme try to make this short and sweet, ;-) My Notebook pc config: HP ZD8000 2.8Ghz 1GB RAM ATI X600 128MB Graphic card I have gone through nearly all the threads of ubuntuforum and it is very thourough. However enabling Compiz and XGL on a ZD8000 with ATI x600 is rather limited. Here is how I brought those effects and hope it may help someone. Install ati32bit driver for linux To get compiz working I have downloaded ATI driver for Linux. It can be found here: Download ATI Driver here: http://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati. com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run After downloading the driver, you need the following packages. If you dont have internet connection, keep your Ubuntu (dapper) dvd ready. Also if its a slow connection like mine, this will save a lot of time. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential sudo apt-get...

Create a shortcut of a webpage or a link in a website on the Gnome desktop Click on the web link in the web browser and drag it on to the desktop. Gnome will automatically create the shortcut (link) to the remote location pointed to by the link you just dragged. Note: It also works if you select the link in the Firefox address bar and drag it to the desktop. Save a block of text from a webpage to a file Select the text in the webpage and drag it on to the desktop. Gnome will auto-magically create a text file and save the selected text into it. You will also be prompted to rename the file to a name of your choice. Copy an image from a remote location. While the image is displayed in the web browser, just click on the image and drag it to the desktop. Gnome will copy the image from the remote location. Take care to drag the image rather than the link pointed to by the image. Note: These tips are also possible from any application. Not necessarily from the web browser. In fact, I was...

There are only 14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the Americas, five million in Asia, two million in Europe and 100,000 in Africa. For every single Jew in the world there are 100 Muslims. Yet, Jews are more than a hundred times more powerful than all the Muslims put together. Ever wondered why? Jesus of Nazareth was Jewish. Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine's 'Person of the Century', was a Jew. Sigmund Freud -- id, ego, superego -- the father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Karl Marx, Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman. Here are a few other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity: Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle. Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine. Alert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine. Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting drug. Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B. Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis (a s...
