Umm, I believe it should...I am thinking something isn't right with your
compiz install.

Again, I am thinking your system either doesn't support compiz or isn't
configured right. Fraid I don't know much about compiz. I just searched
for problems with my hardware and when I didn't find anything major I
just installed the deb packages then added 'fusion-icon' as a startup
program in my session preferences. I then thanked the developers and
went on my merry way to play with my new eye-candy.
Anyone out there able to provide more help for Lee?
Good luck and have fun!
