Oops sorry - I assumed all along y'all had enabled it by default, and knew it.

All I did was install the compiz packages and pull the trigger. I got a new 
usability envelop, including lazy-mouse, and instant <Alt+Tab>. (I got neither 
the new preview-based tabbox, nor the classic one. I got the style where the 
target windows instantly pop up, and I can't use that because - as a programmer 
- I always leave too many windows open!)

After reinstalling kwin, I had to edit kwinrc and essentially change 
AltTabStyle=CDE to AltTabStyle=KDE.

Too many keystrokes changed for me to remember them all.

Now I shall figure out a way to complain to Ubuntu-land that my battery minder 
worked in Gutsy, and broke in Hardy. It always thinks my battery is fully charged...

Yes, I know where to start looking for that one. Thanks for letting me vent...
