Wohoo! I have compiz back!

	I downgraded to 7.2 by removing the opensuse/xorg/7.3 repository; using
yast to search for "xorg" and then updating (downgrading) all xorg
packages to 7.2. Worked like a charm.

	Library manipulation is still required. The libraries *must* be set
like this for compiz to work on the Toshiba P35 laptop with the ATI
mobility radeon 9700 card:

/usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.sav -> libIndirectGL.so.1.2*

	Damn glad to have compiz back! You don't know how much you appreciate a
good desktop until it is gone. Thanks for your help!
