compiz themes (cgwd & themes)

[Steven Haigh]

Has anyone found a copy of cgwd that works with the latest rawhide?

I found an RPM of cgwd, but it was built against libdbus-1.so.2 which  
doesn't seem to exist in rawhide...

This should probably be added to rawhide if we're going to make compiz  
available....

It wont be in FC6 and nothing is going to be added to rawhide at this 
point that will disrupt the release. It would be nice to have such 
packages in Fedora Extras meanwhile and I have posted a request a day 
back in fedora-extras list to do so.

It is my understanding that cgwd requires a fork of compiz (by someone
called Quinn Storm) to run. The theming software will not work with the
vanilla version of compiz found in Fedora. I believe the themed variant of
compiz originated in the Ubuntu community. I noticed in compiz git that Dave
Reveman has recently checked in some updates to make vanilla compiz work
with metacity themes.

The Compiz fork recently renamed as Beryl is already in review for 
Fedora Extras.
