Tim,
thanks for your response, and I'm sorry I didn't know there was a bug filed.
If I try and install emerald-kde3 I get the following dependencies:
compiz-core
compiz-plugins
compiz-wrapper
libdecoration0
libemeraldengine0-kde3
note that there is only one -kde3... the installation then fails because:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/compiz-core_1%3a0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1_i386.deb:
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/compiz.1.gz', which is also in
package compiz-core-kde3
I am pretty sure I have installed all the necessary packages, and
believe that the problem is the non-kde3 dependencies.
Thanks a lot!

Emerald? Does the rest of Compiz work properly?
At the moment, -kde3 compiz and emerald cannot be installed
simultaneously with non-kde3 compiz and emerald due to bug 57
(http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=57). That bug is
next on my list of problems to deal with.
