The GUI utility gnome-appearance-properties can turn compiz on and off
on the fly, you could do the following:
Detect Compiz
Yes then warn user and give them option (button) to start
gnome-appearance-properties
run Compiz detect again (with a bailout option because we have a loop)
No then start K-3D GUI
When K-3D exits we need to know if the user needs to see the
gnome-appearance-properties dialog again so that Compiz can be turned
back on, so we need to take note of what the state was when K-3D's
Compiz handling code was run at start-up.
Or you could look at the code in gnome-appearance-properties and have
k-3D do the same thing.
Or look at running K-3D full screen in an Xnest type of situation
where Compiz may not matter.
Or you could fix whatever is broken.... if only we knew what it was.
