[Bug 305740] [NEW] compiz-decorator shell script needlessly keeps running after running decorator process

Binary package hint: compiz-core

The end of compiz-decorator looks like this:

if [ -n "$DECORATOR" ]; then
    verbose "Starting ${DECORATOR}\n"
    ${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}$DECORATOR "$@"
else
    verbose "Found no decorator to start\n"
    exec $FALLBACKWM $FALLBACKWM_OPTIONS
fi

I think it could equally well look like this:

if [ -n "$DECORATOR" ]; then
    verbose "Starting ${DECORATOR}\n"
    exec ${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}$DECORATOR "$@"
else
    verbose "Found no decorator to start\n"
    exec $FALLBACKWM $FALLBACKWM_OPTIONS
fi

and the shell process will be replaced with the compiz process as for
the fallback branch instead of continuing to run.
