Description:

SHORT:

This is simple script to disable composite manager while launching some applications (OpenGL mainly). May be useful for nvidia driver users.

LONG:

When you are using such eye candy like true transparency, windows shadows with nvidia driver you will early notice that many applications especially 3d ones have buggy display. That is because nvidia driver doesn't work well with both composite and glx extensions. To avoid bugs you need disable composite effects before launching those applications and this script will do it automaticly.

INSTALL (for those 'newbies'):
save as /usr/bin/nokompmgr and make it executable. Now update shortcuts and menuitems by adding "nokompmgr" before command like "nokompmgr et"

I'm trying to use with kde-3.5.1 and
superkaramba, but it gives me:

kde-config: WARNING: KLocale: trying to look up "" in catalog. Fix the program

and then while running superkaramba ALL
kompmgr is disabled, it re-enables when I
stop superkaramba.

KompMgr is what is used for translucency and shadowing. You can enable it through the control centre - desktop->window behavior. The only catch is some apps don't like it (most notably for me superkaramba) I've been looking for this for a while, thanks mate to the author!
