I just installed 10.3 a couple of weeks ago. I was on 10.2. This distro has some great improvements!

The problem:

Had koolDock downloaded and working great. After I installed Compiz-Fusion (using the new 1-click installer, which is also great) KoolDock now crashes the x-server. I removed Compiz-Fusion and kool dock once again worked.

In 10.2 i was running avant-window-manager which i absolutely loved. But since i couldn't find a 10.3 repository with the file, i wasn't sure about trying to install it just yet. Kooldock was in the packman 10.3 so i grabbed it.

on the advice of a friend I entered "any & !(name=kooldock)" under Decoration WIndows. This did solve the x-Server crash.. but now the program crashes.

Is this a known issue with compiz-fusion? If not, i wonder if its just my install, or if its a new bug with 10.3

if anyone else has experienced the same crash... and fixed it... please fill me in. I prefer the dock like window manager over the applet-bar style any day.

also if any of you have gotten a "GOOD" dock running with both 10.3 and compiz-fusion. Or have koolDock and compiz fusion on 10.3 running side by side... please let me know.

thanks

me, too.

hmmm.... VBulletin complained that message was too short, so I'm padding it with this.
