Desktop bling

[Matthew Garrett]

I've just uploaded various bits of desktop bling integration.

1) The current upstream version of compiz
2) The desktop-effects configuration applet from Fedora
3) Light patching to gnome-session in order to ensure that the settings 
are used

At the time of writing desktop-effects doesn't seem to have hit the 
archive yet, but should be there shortly. To enable the appropriate 
bling, simply install desktop-effects, compiz and compiz-gnome, make 
sure you've got the latest gnome-session and then click the button in 
the "Desktop effects" applet that's under System/Preferences.

If you've had compiz installed from some other source previously, 
there's a chance that your gconf setup will be a bit screwed. I'm 
looking into making the upgrade path cleaner.

The default set of plugins is not very exciting. This is deliberate for 
the moment.

Intel users: This should just work out of the box. It certainly does on 
my i855.

Nvidia users: You'll need a 9000 series driver and to set 

Option       "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

in the screen section of your xorg.conf.

ATI users: Not a clue, I'm afraid. It ought to work fine out of the box 
if you're using the free drivers, but I don't have any ATI machines here 
to test.
