I'd kind of envision Desktop Effects on -> compiz, Desktop Effects off -> metacity with automatic compositing (or a minimum, non-customizable set of compositing operations that the user wouldn't consider "effects") I don't think it ever makes sense to have two compositing managers available in the UI each with overlapping / different toggleable effects. Or were you suggesting make Desktop Effects on -> metacity with iain's cm, and Desktop Effects off -> metacity with no cm (and compiz just taken out of the picture) ? --Ray -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
