[compiz] Tried out Beryl (Animation pugin)

[Erkin Bahceci]

Hi,

I had thought that inter-plugin communication was possible through
"privates" without adding anything to compiz.h, but apparently it's
not (hence the name privates :) ). I guess this is only possible
through X window properties, right? Is there a way to do this type of
communication in a simpler way (and without modifying compiz.h)?

Anyways. For now, I removed everything related to disablePostprocessFX
for Animation to work with Compiz. I might have a go at X window
properties, later.

I attached the diff files that should be applied *after* you apply
Mike's last diff files.

Hopefully this will get Animation to work with Compiz properly.
