Gutsy Desktop effects Choices

Unfortunately my desktop effects still aren't working, but I installed xcompmgr to get awn to run!

But anywho I figured you would like to see what the preference dialog looks like for enabling the effects in gutsy, it seems pretty straight forward and nifty.


Also I personally didn't like the new Gutsy wallpaper that is on by default looks ugly and dumb I think. But it came with another cool wallpaper that I turned on instead and now my desktop is looking good:

"Unfortunately my desktop effects still aren't working" I had this problem too... Try this : in the file /usr/bin/compiz, replace

COMPIZ_BIN_PATH="/usr/local/bin/"

PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/local/lib/compiz/"

COMPIZ_NAME="compiz"

with

COMPIZ_BIN_PATH="/usr/bin/"

PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib/compiz/"

COMPIZ_NAME="compiz.real"

It worked for me
