Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

If simple-ccsm is not installed, it doesn't let you use custom options.

So I made a patch for this bug. I added only a little bit of code. With
this, the Custom option under the Visual Effects tab of gnome-
appearance-preferences will show if the desktop is using special
effects. When the preferences button is clicked, it will open simple-
ccsm.

I think simple-ccsm is a way better choice than compizconfig-settings-
manager since so many problems can be caused with that one. However,
when simple-ccsm is not installed, it will ask you to install it and
then run it.

I hardly think this patch will disrupt the way users previously used
gnome-appearance-properties. It could be put in Lucid but I would like
it better in Karmic :P
