This is probably a stupid question, but can XGL be used with KDE?

I'm running Kubuntu 5.10 and I'd like to give this a shot.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm not sure I understand.

You're saying I'll get XGL to work with KDE, but I won't get any of the eye candy stuff unless I use Gnome?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I upgraded to Dapper, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to work with KDE... it seems to mainly deal with the fact that I'm also running an ATI graphics card. Quite a shame.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

With the final release of Dapper Drake, I've given Xgl another shot and it works beautifully, even on KDE. I did have to spend a few hours trying to figure out how to get it working, bu that was mostly because everyone I asked kept giving me the wrong information.

I strongly advise anyone with the vaguest of interest in this to give it a shot.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm still running gnome-window-decorator, but I don't have to log in using GDM or anything like that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

A couple of hours, really. Now that I have a conclusive, actual knowledge of how to do it, I could probably get a Kubuntu installation running Xgl with Compiz in under an hour.

I'd still have no idea how to do it for standard Ubuntu, though >,<

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
