When I move window versus another window or versus desktop border without compiz windows collide correctly.
With compiz there is no collision between windows.
Why?

How can I enable this "smart" collision?

I think you are talking about snapping, you can enable it by holding down the shift key, or if you want it all the time then change this setting to true.

/apps/compiz/plugins/wobbly/allscreens/options/snap_inverted

Wow, yes. I mean this! snapping.
But please help me.

With shift button works well, but I want this all the time and I've got some problem.
When gconfig-editor /apps/compiz/plugins/wobbly/allscreens/options/
I can't find snap_inverted but only
snap_bell
snap_button
snap_edge
snap_key

by enabling this four settings nothing change :(
Please help me.

If the option is not there you could just add it manually as a boolean field. Make sure you are running a recent version of Compiz (ie 0.3.2)

I can't understand what is the exact version that I have installed.

compiz --version
compiz 0.0.13

rpm -qil compiz
Name : compiz Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 0.0.13 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release : 0.32.20060817git.fc6 Build Date: mar 03 ott 2006 00:19:20 CEST
Install Date: mer 15 nov 2006 12:21:38 CET Build Host: hs20-bc1-7.build.redhat.com
Group : User Interface/Desktops Source RPM: compiz-0.0.13-0.32.20060817git.fc6.src.rpm

I've just added this boolean in .gconf/apps/compiz/plugins/wobbly/allscreens/options/%gconf.xml


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="snap_inverted" mtime="1163589835" type="bool" value="true">
</entry>
</gconf>


but it doesn't work :(

I am not sure about the packages in fedora, but if I enter "compiz --version", I get the ouput "compiz 0.3.2". So apparently you are running the old "official" package included in many distributions. Maybe there are third-party repos for fedora, otherwise you can also install from source ...

I can't find any packages 0.3.2 :(
