Kai,
Please don't misunderstand, I do value __always__ when someone steps
up for maintaining a piece of software... but wouldn't it be more
useful if you implemented your software directly on GNOME or KDE
instead of a piece of software that is being dropped by the major
distributions ?
I know compiz is probably be around for a few years more (ex: on
commercial Linux), for example my home laptop has a RHEL 6.2 with
GNOME2 and Compiz, but it's really being abandoned in determent of
newer DE's.
Either way, I happy someone jumped in to keep compiz alive.
All the best,
NM

: Personally I did not test Compiz-0.8 with Gnome but KDE. As stated, my goal is to provide a ICC colour managed experience. Compiz is just a vehicle for that and likely not best integrated into all the available desktops.
Integration of ICC support into KWin and GNOME shell is of course prefered.
I was under the impression that the gnome desktop has this handled already, using gnome-color-manager and colord (so you should really only target kde with this)
That is no correct. A CMM like lcms, a CMS like Oyranos is a precondition for a ICC colour management. But these are not sufficient conditions.
CompICC is currently the _only_ code for whole screen ICC colour correction on Linux.
Gnome has, like KDE, a CMS and a front end to each CMS, but that alone does not change much on the screen. There needs to be some more integration bits. The CompICC plugin provides these for Compiz much like CUPS and Ghostscript provide the CM integration for printing.
kind regards Kai-Uwe
