Howto get KDE to offer both 3D and non-3D logins?

[cookdav]

Back on Beryl (0.2.0), my KDE-login screen, in the session-drop-down,
allowed me either to launch the Beryl-environment or not.

I don't see that offer, as a new user of Compiz-Fusion. Is there
someway to GET that feature? [I'm running a binary-kits installation
of Compiz-Fusion, under Kubuntu 7.10. KDE version is 3.5.8, which is
default/builtin on this Kubuntu.]

Right now, the behavior is that 'Compiz-Fusion' auto-launches when
I do a KDE-login. What is the recommended way to prevent this auto-launch of
Compiz-Fusion?

Cheers...

This has nothing to do with Beryl or Compiz.
The only thing I can think of, is that you used Xgl back then. That required to set up a separate session until Gutsy in Ubuntu.

It may be possible to set up something similar now with Compiz enabled or not but frankly I think it's easier just to disable Compiz if you don't want to use it:
kwin --replace
You could add a starter to the panel (or desktop) with that command.

I did it this way:
Create a file Compiz.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions/ with content:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Compiz
Exec=/usr/local/bin/startcompiz.sh
Icon=
Type=Application


And file /usr/local/bin/startcompiz.sh:
#!/bin/bash
export KDEWM="/usr/bin/compiz"
exec startkde
