[Leaplist] just for the record, Compiz-Fusion

I am running Beryl on a modest Gateway Laptop and having a blast with 
it. I really enjoy showing some of my clients who state "they have never 
seen vista look like that" that it is in fact, not vista! The only 
complaint I have is that when using the touchpad, sometimes the screen 
spins around switching sessions. This is more likely the touchpad 
itself, but I wish I could disable switching screens with the touchpad, 
and use the windows in the corner. Other than that, I love it.

I would also like to do a side-by-side comparison with Beryl and Compiz 
to see the difference in features. I chose Beryl because of it's ease of 
installation, and I wasn't sure if Compiz would run because of the 
modest video on this laptop. Who knows, I might be surprised.

enough, it didn't seem to make any point to stretch that much if it 
wasn't going to budge.
