I don't have _any_ other issues with compiz except flickering of KDE Plasma notifications. The build process doesn't have any issues too: at least for me is nothing more than "cmake ../compiz; make all;". The reason for packaging is simple -- someone has to do it. The project is still very useful. Cheers, Povilas _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.compiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
