kwin4 in kde3.5 - no background?

Hi,

i just wanted to try kwin4 in kde3.5 (kcontrol -> KDE Components -> Session management) and it seems to work just fine with only one problem: the background is just a black area with the exception of the two transparent panels, where you can still see it. Does anyone know this problem and how to fix it?

It’s just the way kwin for kde4 works. Normally the default option is not a folder view which right now You’re missing:) If You press right button on mouse what’s on then?

The same menu as ever with log out etc.

Just found the solution: you have to check show symbols on desktop (even though there aren’t any on my desktop anyway)

It’s a desktop view. there may be a missing dependancy or something. try installing plasma, plasma-workspace. It’s plasma missing i think.

Oh, good for You :slight_smile:
