Desktop Effects Intrepid KDE 4.2

03-02-2009, 11:50 PM

I have been installed for a couple of days on my new 64bit box. Not
needing or using them yet, I did not notice that the desktop effects are
not active. I have several plasmoids functioning on the desktop,
however, my favorite desktop effect was needed, and it did not respond.
I then noticed that things I do not need, but enjoy, like wobbly windows
did not work either. The effect that I find indispensible, now that it
is available, is where I put the mouse in the upper left corner of the
screen, and all of my open overlapping applications separate on the one
screen in a size that fits all. Then I can rapidly choose from among
them the application I want on the surface. Is there some command that
would resolve the problem?

Did you try System Setting --> Desktop --> Desktop Effects under All Effectes tab?

I have done that. I have done the work for them to work, they just
don't work when I am on the desktop.

I don't remember doing this yet. I must have been distracted with a
problem. You are not talking about the BIOS update, are you? Which of
these should I do first. If they are separate, BIOS or nVidia drivers?
You can see, the pressure has not lifted yet, I am a blur of
understanding right now.
