I installed Cairo-Dock when installing Lucid. And it automatically enabled some desktop effects. Nowadays, I found these effects make my desktop less responsive. So, I decided to turn off them. First, I thought they were compiz effects. I was wrong. Actually, they are metacity compositing effects and come with gnome 2.22 and later versions.
To disable them, run:
|
1 |
# gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool false |
And this command to enable them:
|
1 |
# gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool true |
