Shall I separate the guides > functionality into a new plugin? The official upstream repo for Compiz 0.9 (the version you're targeting since you're writing C++ code) is at [1]. The preferred way to submit changes is to submit a merge proposal, so you can get and respond to feedback from upstream developers. If you're unfamiliar with bzr I can do that for you, but there may be delays as I try to find the time. > A random questions: we are having problems seeing any effect of the > Compiz configuration in gsettings after installation, even if configured > with -DUSE_GSETTINGS=ON; as far as I can see compiz stores its > configuration in gconf.

Gconf support in compizconfig was deprecated a couple of years ago and was supposed to have been removed in favour of a gsettings back end using dconf. Gsettings is used by Ubuntu's Unity desktop, so it should be well-supported. Unfortunately I'm really not an expert on that area of things, so I can't offer much in the way of suggestions. > Another patch containing a new plugin for mouse cursor themes is > forthcoming. Nice.
