[compiz] Plugins

[Mike Dransfield]

Thanks for these moppsy

I am putting together a collection of plugins from beryl. At the moment 
I have


*Animation*

http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/plugins/animation.tar.gz

This needs these patches to compiz.h and window.c

http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/patches/10_animation-compat_compiz.h.diff
http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/patches/10_animation-compat_window.c.diff


*Showdesktop*

http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/plugins/showdesktop.tar.gz

This is a little buggy but could hopefully be improved in the future.


*State*

http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/plugins/state.tar.gz

This keeps state of applications, I find it very useful. The initial 
position doesn't
seem to work but everything else does. This plugin is very useful 
because it allows
compiz effects to be used as screensavers.


*Trailfocus*

http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/plugins/trailfocus.tar.gz

Probably the most turned off of all the Beryl plugins, but some people 
like it.


*Water Quad Patch*

I also have a patch from moppsy for the quad water wave. It seems to 
work, I removed
the shiver patches because they require patches to wobbly.

Blurfx seems the only plugin that has real problems working on compiz, 
there appear
to be a lot of changes in decorator and cgwd which made blur work properly.

I have also pulled miniwin and dock from the recycle bin, miniwin works 
perfectly
but dock does not work here. I could never get it working but other 
people claimed
they did. This is one of the best ideas in compiz-quinn and I hope 
someone can adopt it.
