Compiz in Intrepid

[Luis de Bethencourt]

Based on the blender situation I had a strong opinion against compiz
by default in the previous release. Now I think it should go on
because the situation is half fixed and on its way to completely.

I prefer users complaining about blender window not wobbling than
complaining about the whole desktop not being composited. Which if
well configured, enhacens the functionality of the desktop.
