Factory is nearing up to the 12.1 look and feel and I, as one of the Compiz maintainers, was wondering if it is in any way useful to keep compiz around for this release.
The most 'prominent' DE using it was gnome, but with the move to GNOME 3 (actually 3.2 for the release), Compiz does not make sense (only one compositing manager can run at any time, so compiz and gnome-shell conflict). KDE4.x has most of the features of compiz anyway directly integrated (as far as I know).
Is there anybody using compiz on other DEs? (lxde/xfce, even though that would be a bit contradicting their 'light' advertisement).
Please keep it in Factory, I know of people using it with Xfce and in 12.1 it'll be all the more important to those who want an alternative to the now defunct GNOME 2 desktop. While Xfce provides a WM with an optional, built-in composite manager its functionality is not comparable. (And "lightweightness" should probably be understood relative to KDE4/GNOME 3). -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
