Hi Ben,
I generally stay away from Compiz and Intel hardware, as the Intel
drivers are generally horrid as far as fancy hardware acceleration goes..
k9copy-kde3 is now in the repository (I even updated the version to the
latest). fusion-icon-kde3 is next on my list of things to do.

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...
