I have submitted these ports for commit, they should go in by sometime
tomorrow... For the impatient, the PRs are 116136-9. I have a hack in
place which allows ccsm to enable/disable plugins without causing compiz
to segfault, so everything should be good.
I am currently starting compiz as "compiz --replace ccp". The ccp
plugin comes from libcompizconfig. If you are using intel graphics, you
need to set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 for compiz to run. i.e.
"LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp". If you are using a
radeon card with the AIGLX patch, you also need this.
