We're definitely interested in making compiz usable on fedora, but there are a
number of issues with the current approach that needs to be worked out:

 - Must work with aiglx.  Packaging Xgl is fine and compiz should be able to run
on Xgl too, but Xgl can not be a dependency of the compiz RPM.  compiz will need
further patches for this to work, specifically it needs to default to strict
texture binding and indirect rendering.

 - We should update to compiz 0.0.12

 - Can't include mesa source, must work with system mesa.  Current rawhide mesa
almost works, but needs a patch to provide a few extra FBConfig attributes.

 - We can't pull in libsvg-cairo.  No development is going on on that library
anymore. librsvg is the svg renderer to use going forward, and it now renders to
a cairo surface too.  Short term we'll have to disable the svg functionality,
longer term I'm sure upstream will take a patch to port to librsvg.

 - the %description mentions EXT_texture_from_drawable, it's now called
EXT_texture_from_pixmap.  In either case it's too much of an implementation
detail to put in the %description.  However it should mention that compiz is
also a windows manager.

I'm currently working on patches to the core packages (Xorg and mesa) to make it
 possible to run compiz on aiglx, will keep this bug updated as that work
progresses.

thanks,
Kristian
