I think that it would be helpful if you could tell us which version of Knoppix you have installed and which desktop environment you are using.

You're definitely right. I'm sorry for leaving that out. It's Knoppix version 6.4.4, which I believe runs lxde with compiz fusion (although I don't think the latter plays a role). I've been out of the Linux loop for quite some time (my latest Linux box had a 600MHz processor), so hopefully that isn't too out of the ballpark.
