== Suggestions ==

- deb packages lacks of dependencies, and it is unusable unless you specify xcompmgr as a requirement.

- instead of modify "~/.Xsession", modify an entry on gnome-session startup programs for the software composite.

- also alternatively add compiz, compiz-gnome, and compiz-plugins as recommended or suggested.
