“If you are long time Ubuntu user, then just may be you
are also a compiz inspired linux convert, like me. Even now, I
don’t use a lot a compiz animations in my desktop, but I can’t
think of a Gnome desktop without Compiz. They are blended together
so well. Compiz is nearing another major release and a lot of
changes are coming.

“What’s New in Compiz 0.9.2

“Compiz 0.9.2 comes with a ton of bug fixes and major new
feature additions and even more awesome plugins. Major bug fixes
include,

* GCC related problems are solved, which means, no more random
crashes, particularly on window open/close or plugin
load/unload.
* The reparenting bug with SDL applications has been fixed. This
bug prevented users from using certain SDL applications, as they
would fail to reparent.
* Issue of a non-clickable region around windows with a custom
shape such as Docky and Avant-Window-Navigator has been fixed.”
