What's the actual plan for the kde side of compiz? I was asked some time ago to replace beryl with compiz(-fusion) on the KDE-LiveCD. ATM compiz is lacking a configuration tool (former beryl-settings) and also maybe a switcher for kwin <-> compiz (Kevin Kofler is investigating these atm).
We now have a compiz-kde pacakge that has the kde-window-decorator and the GNOME specific bits are split into compiz-gnome. As for configuration tools, I'm thinking that they can be packaged up as separate RPMs and people can pick the tool they prefer.
And there are also some (maybe dumb) questions:
- Will compiz(-fusion) obsolete beryl in the future?
I'm not planning to make the compiz rpm obsolete the beryl rpm, but upstream, the two projects have merged and I don't expect the fedora beryl rpms to see much activitiy.
- Is there a equivalent to beryl-manager that may be usuable for
switching kwin<->compiz (like beryl-manager does for beryl)?
I don't know, there may be, if there is something usable out there we can add it to the compiz-kde package or the appropriate parts of the KDE packages.
