    [SOLVED] Compiz Help & Questions

    I installed Compiz on my desktop and it's not doing anything!
    I went into the settings and checked what I wanted it to do and closed it
    and it does nothing. I run Xubuntu 10.04
    Am I doing something wrong or is it my computer?
    With 256Mbs ram 80 GB hard drive and Intel Graphics Card
    Running all on a Dell Dimension 2300!
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Anyhow, when I right click on my desktop I don't see Change Desktop Background.

    Install fusion-icon

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
    Go to Applications -> System Tools -> Compiz Fusion Icon

    This will appear in your system tray. Click on that to switch to compiz.
