Hi,
first to say that I'm aware of current Fedora and compiz situation [1].
I'm not here to repeat discussion about compiz on by default but to 
start a discussion first with users and then include developers on how 
to make fedora and compiz-fusion work better.

I find compiz package and not also compiz-fusion package installed a 
much needed correction by default and that is why I posted this RFE [2]

Are there any of you who have some better idea how can we make fedora 
and compiz-fusion work better for users? I find that installing 
compiz-fusion is non-intuitive. Why? Because you need to install it with 
this command:

yum install compiz-fusion compiz-fusion-extras compiz-fusion-gnome
compiz-fusion-extras-gnome libcompizconfig ccsm compiz-manager
fusion-icon-gtk

how can this made easier?

What do you think should compiz only be installed by default or should 
it compiz-fusion and other packages be installed - yum says all needed 
packages for compiz-fusion are 1.7M big.

Cheers,
Valent.
