Can't really comment intelligently as I'm not that familiar with Compiz. I had just installed it for a few days and enabled Desktop Effects recently also. All I know is that going back to the first radio button in Desktop Effects and purging all Compiz simply got ALT-F2 working again. All this happened after I quit playing around with nvidia restricted drivers after getting a stable native resolution of 1680x1050.

Well... I resolved the issue by logging back into Gnome & then adding
the KDE4 desktop background... Now it looks as pretty as KDE4, but
everything now actually works properly using Gnome - including being
able to drag & drop panel tabs :-)

Great. I have been considering loading the gnome desktop background themes on my kde4.1 to get more themes to choose from. Suppose I can do that without messing up kde4 on Hardy?

Certainly backgrounds - they are nothing more than png files. However,
themes are likely to be a completely different story & I wouldn't
recommend it unless it's a rainy weekend & you have a spare machine to
test them on first.

When I enter alt-f2 the options are gone and I can't run as sudo?

How can I run konqueror as root?

Oops - sorry, that was Mandriva. kdesu konqueror does run on the F10 netbook.
It didn't in early kde4, I'm sure, so this is definitely a step in the right
direction :-)

I make a Icon on my desktop 'KonquerorSU'

Step
1. right click on Desktop and 'Create New' 'link to application'
2. Properties window opens up.
3. In "General Tab" I give it a name of KonquerorSU, and then I click on
Icon on left top and give it a Icon.
4. In "Application Tab" at "Command" I put /usr/bin/konqueror . also in
Application Tab at bottom right I click on
"Application Options" and then ' Check' "Run as a different user"
and at "Username" type in 'root' .

5. Then click on OK at bottom and you have a KonquerorSU icon on Desktop.

Now for the worst of it all !!
After you open a text file using Kwrite a few times.
Then shutdown KonquerorSU filemanager and have to open it again to edit
a new text file in Kwrite, it's going to give you a error message "Can't
launch Kwrite".

You then will have to restart KDE to get it to Edit text files in SU KDE.

That error message, can't launch Kwite has been a problem in KonquerorSU
for the past KDE releases.
And I have been to lazy to report it to bugzilla.kde. If anyone knows
how to fix it I would like to know about it.
