[kde-freebsd] Juk 3.2.1 problem solved; Desktop effects problem

[Dwayne MacKinnon]

Hi all,

Just wanted to mention that thanks to a post on the freebsd-x11 
mailing list I was able to get desktop effects working on my Intel 
graphics box.

February/007516.html

Anyways, not sure if that'll work on my nVidia box, but I'll be fooling 
around with it when I get home.

Cheers,
DMK
