Ok, it looks like compiz is broken for intel x server, and it's not
related to the kde3 repository.
If anybody has gotten compiz working reliably without hanging on a
lenovo t400 please let me know how you did it. ;-)
Tim, would it be possible to get k9copy and fusion-icon for kde3?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Ben,
I believe I have fixed the problem--why don't you give it a try
and see if it works properly on your end as well. :-)

Tim,
yeah, it's a custom i386 kernel. If you need any help with
fixing this, let me know what I can do.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Ben,
You're right! Are you running an i386 kernel? For some reason
my amd64
system shows the correct -kde3 dependencies, while my i386
system shows
the same incorrect dependencies as yours.
I'll add this info to the bug report so I don't forget...

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!
