Google Earth on Kubuntu 8.10

For some reason google earth was not working correctly on my laptop HP Compaq 6910p. Which uses intel graphics chipset. For more about the problem and solution refer to the following thread

So when you want to use google earth you have to disable Desktop Effects from System Settings and enable it back after you are done if you want the nice and cool effects without which I cannot live :)

If you are having issue with fonts also install package msttcorefonts
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
