This was all outsources to compiz-manager, that takes care of loading a minimal set of plug-ins for you (so invoke compiz-manager --replace).\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fellow openSUSE user (David) kindly asked me if it would be possible to provide newer compiz also for the somewhat &#8216;older&#8217; openSUSE distributions (he is currently running 11.0 as I understood).
