Add KDE to Gnome - Gloria

[dha]

I have just installed KDE 4.3 on top of my Mint 7 with Gnome, using the Kubuntu repos. works mostly fine (can even start XP in a virtual box installed from the Gnome side) - but:
1. wlan does not work, KDE even does not "see" Knetwork Manager installed via the intact Gnome desktop
2. Compiz does not work

Any advice especially for the network issue would be highly appreciated

You have to tell us more facts.
The minimum is exactly which Mint you have - which version and which edition (main or any of the CEs)
We also need to know a bit about all your hardware.
Run " lspci " in a terminal and post here (to avoid misunderstanding - the first character is a minor L and you copy by marking with the mouse and then right click - telling you this just in case )
Some wifi and possibly built in sound can be connected to USB even if they are internal - if you suspect you have one of these run " lsusb " in a terminal.
Also tell us if this is using mint4win or not, quite important
This is a standard answer so it may not be fully applicable to your situation

KDE uses KWIN by default, you would probably have to un-install KWIN in order to use Compiz. As for KNM, I'm not sure here but you can always uninstall NM and KNM and install WICD. That should fix that issue.

Under most circumstances compiz should work fine under kde. Make sure kde desktop effects are disabled by going to System Settings > Desktop and make sure they are disabled. Then in System Settings go to Default Applications and then Window Manager and change the default to the one that just says compiz.
