Thanks. I added the lines to /usr/local/bin/startxgl which now looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
Xgl -fullscreen :1 -ac -br -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer &
sleep 4
export DISPLAY=:1
cookie="$(xauth -i nextract - :0 | cut -d ' ' -f 9)"
xauth -i add :1 . "$cookie"
exec startkde

However, I still don't have the buttons. If it is because of XGL, then
would I be better off running without XGL? I have the ATI X1400 in
this laptop, and I have heard that the proprietary drivers now support
Compiz-Fusion without XGL, but the performance is very bad. Does
anyone know more about the issue?

Thanks.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
