Binary package hint: linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic
I have installed Intrepid Alpha3 version of Kubuntu and I found the options to enable kwin 3d desktop effects. However I also found the ubuntu compirz setup tool in the applications list (I think under utilities or system). This is potentially confusing as KDE4.1 should use kwin's 3d desktop by default. If users really want compirz instead they can install the package themselves. If they do have compirz and kwin (say they install the gnome desktop as well as the KDE4.1 desktop) the ubuntu compirz utility should allow for the following:-
1) Apply compirz settings only to the desktop user is currently running in (eg if running in gnome desktop do not replace kwin in kde desktop.)
2) If applying compirz to the kde desktop make sure kwin 3d effects is disabled and is reinstated if compirz is later turned off.
3) maybe hide compirz utility/options when running kde desktop or at least make it clear kwin has it's own 3d effects.

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue. Thanks.
