Also Why No Compiz Fusion Icon appear near Clock Like Beryl Is it possible to make icon visible.. How o install Snow plugin.

which theme manager do you use? there wont be any "compiz manager" in the notification area. compiz fusion has always been buggy for me (it still is in devel stages) hence i backed out to beryl. experienced a lot of stability probs.

we get an compiz fusion icon(compiz setting manager) in system try like beryl icon on system tray. i feel compiz fusion is much better, has not crased yet.
hav both beryl and compiz on system. i can switch both.

^^ Oooo..... That's worked thanks a ton. Though I didn't use XMMS this time shifted to exaile.. So I thought why should I install Language support if I am not in a need of that :p But was wrong :) Thanks bro D:
