Translucency, Kompmgr and Xorg in KDE

[David R. Litwin]

I recently installed Xorg. There is a bit in KDE's Control Centre which speaks of Translucency. It requires Xorg 6.8 or greater, which I have. But, it still doesn't work. It claims it needs kompmgr, but this is not a package in Debian's Repository. I googled a bit and it seems that others have had this problem and have rectified it, but I do not know how. It also says it needs

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

in xorg.conf. Should I stick this in before doing any thing else? What problem have I got that this won't work?

Thank you kindly in advance.
