+                           KWin compositing support
+                           ------------------------
+
+The KDE window manager, KWin, shipped with KDE 4.0 includes initial support
+for hardware-accelerated compositing effects.  Due to the current immaturity of
+compositing support in KWin, Xorg, and many graphics drivers, these features are
+disabled by default.
+
+Please read the release notes for KWin 4.0 for information about compositing:
+http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KWin/4.0-release-notes
+
+
+
+                       How to enable compositing in KWin
+                       ---------------------------------
+
+Open System Settings and click "Desktop" under the "Look & Feel" section.
+On the "Desktop Effects" page, enable the checkbox "Enable desktop effects".
+KWin will attempt to enable compositing and display a confirmation dialog.
+
+If everything appears to be working correctly, click "Accept Configuration".
+To prevent a compositing problem from rendering the desktop unusable,
+compositing will be disabled if the changes are not confirmed within 10 seconds.
+
+If there are problems enabling compositing support, please read COMPOSITE_HOWTO.
