This is my first attempt at packaging a kde app, so there are surely
some issues. In particular, I don´t seem to get an icon in my KDE menu,
so I must not be installing icons is the right place or the .desktop
file must not be right.
Description:
Komposé offers a great new way to manage a big number of windows on
different Virtual Desktops. It creates a fullscreen view where every
window is represented by a scaled screenshot of its own.
Thanks to the KDE framework it is possible to create those screenshots
"on the fly" while you are working without much overhead. The image
scaling is done through the high performance image library Imlib2.
Since version 0.5 support for the Composite and Damage extensions has
been added, which allows us to display window contents without grabbing
screenshots. However with the current state of graphics drivers XOrg may
be awfully slow (or even crash sometimes) when enabling the Composite
extension.
So blame me for your bad gfx drivers :)
