Compiz Non-Sliding Windows Option Nonexistant

In the Compiz Fusion Desktop Wall plugin settings, I can normally find a “Non Sliding Windows” option (Or at least, I’ve been able to in recent installs of Ubuntu). However, in the default installation of Compiz that comes with OpenSUSE 11.2, I don’t have that option. I double checked to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind, and on my Ubuntu 10.4 laptop it IS present (In CCSM under the Desktop Wall Plugin’s “Viewport Switching” tab). I even went so far as to check to see if it’s in the gconf database, and it’s not on Suse, but is on Ubuntu. Installing the compiz extras package did not help. I even tried putting the key into the gconf database on Suse, but of course it didn’t work. The only thing I noticed is that Suse appears to be using an older version of Compiz (Suse: compiz 0.7.8; Ubuntu: compiz 0.8.4). Being a fairly experienced linux user (however being new to Suse itself), I’d like to check if there is a simpler solution than compiling from scratch. Anyone ever run across this/solved this already? The final goal is to make my desktop wallpaper and gnome panels static when viewport sliding.

Well, I actually fixed it myself. Turns out it really was the version differences, and the newest version is only a one-click-install away: Compiz Fusion - openSUSE

Everything works like normal now!

Of course, now I feel like a moron :slight_smile: Marking as fixed.
