| Definetly keep an eye of how it behaves with apps like Blender.

Quite frankly, it does not play well. With compiz enabled, blender will
only work full-screen mode, which some people have been complaining about.

IIRC, the compiz team (or perhaps just one person) was working on
allowing individual windows to fall back on Metacity. No idea on what
the status of that is though. The short term solution is to modify the
wrapper script that is already shipped with the debian package to also
disable and re-enable compiz when blender is launched. I am sure we will
also get complains about "Why won't my Blender window wobble when I drag
it" :/

Thanks,

Andrew.
