Window compositing in LXDE 14.04 [PPC]?

[Fritz Hudnut]

HH:

Reading the blog report it looks like Compton is CLI based??  Seems like it
is as he is showing the various line items to set it up . . . I'd prefer a
simple GUI item that I can check or uncheck.  Either of those other apps
"xcompmgr" or "cairo-compmgr" GUI items, or all are CLI??
