Great. I did not expect it to be done that fast :)

I am still fiddling with compiz-schema plugin. It has no properties in 
ccs-settings so I am not sure if it is initialized properly :(
Super-o keybind is seposed to do something ? Nothing happens for me. 
Maybe some other shortcut is overlapping it ?
How can I see if it is working at all ?

Sorry about extreme-newbie questions. I used beryl for a few days and 
switched to compiz. This is all very new for me. Not many information 
about what is going on.

Seems plugins are getting out of compiz tree?
