Run Compiz with Xfce4

“So you’re enjoy the series on Xfce4. What’s more, you’re
enjoying Xfce4 itself! It’s a fantastic desktop environment that
should get far more attention than it does. And because Xfce 4 is
so lightweight, you might get the idea that you could easily add
more to it and hardly feel the hit. You are very correct with that
though. In fact, you could add, say , Compiz (and Emerald) into the
mix and hardly notice. But why would you do that? Because you can.
That’s what is so great about the Linux desktop – if you can
think of it, more than likely you can do it.

“With that said, in this entry to the Xfce4 series I am going to
show you how to run Compiz (and, if you like, Emerald) along with
Xfce 4. With this combination you can enjoy a snappy desktop filled
with extra features.

“What you need

“Obviously you are going to need the hardware that will run
Compiz. This isn’t such a big deal these days. You will also need
both Compiz and (obviously) Xfce4 installed. If you want to add
Emerald into the mixture you can install that as well. All three of
these components can be found in your Add/Remove Software
tool.”
