Have you installed emerald-kde3?  How are you attempting to enable 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.

So I finally found some time to (try and) set up compiz on my laptop again.  It used to work on 8.04, but seems to be broken now.  If I install only compiz stuff with -kde3, I can use only the sluggish gtk window decorator.  If I try and install emerald I have non-kde3 dependencies.  This of course does not install cleanly because it says "already in package XY."  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
