-Using kwin_composite branch:
-============================
-
-See the KDE trunk HOWTO at http://developer.kde.org/build/trunk.html .
-
-The simplest way to build the kwin_composite branch is to switch the trunk version
-to the branch:
-
-$ cd kdebase/workspace/kwin
-$ svn info
-(prints the repository URL, for example https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin)
-$ svn switch https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/kwin_composite
-(i.e. replace trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kwin with branches/work/kwin_composite)
-$ make
-(i.e. build and use it as usually)
-
 After starting, KWin's debug output also says which compositing backend it uses, e.g.
 "OpenGL compositing". If it does not, most probably your X is not configured properly.
