i just installed kde 4 its working properly i'm using 10.3 had compiz working on 3.5 now i was wondering how to enable compiz in kde4 thanx

KDE4 has built in compositing in kwin4, you can enable it in system settings or by right clicking on your title bar and going into 'Configure Window Behaviour'.

Alternatively you can just launch Compiz using

compiz --replace

and it will work fine. I'm not sure if KDE4 still uses the ~/.kde4/Autostart/ type startup but it shouldn't be too difficult to get going once you confirm it works.

sorry thats the error i get when i try that command

I frequently got that error when I started running 10.3.

Try

compiz --replace glib gconf

...and see if it's any better. This is an issue with your chosen backend (text vs. gconf) not being used. It is really frustrating and as far as I can tell is not KDE4 specific.

I still get the same error could it be a package i did not install or something thats causing this
