  [ Didier Roche ]
  * pick upstream fix, debian/patches/fix_953839.patch:
    [regression] Invisible resize border is now only 1px wide (LP: #953839)
  * debian/patches/revert_lim.patch:
    - revert the integrated menu patch. It won't be released in precise and
      triggers a regression (in bug #962085)
  * debian/patches/fix_953089_2.patch:
    - second trial to fix remaining corner cases
  * debian/patches/exit_1_if_composite_cant_init.patch:
    - try to workaround a crasher which seems to happen when the composite
      plugin failed to initialize. Hopefully exiting 1 will make gnome-session
      respawning compiz and then the init will work. (LP: #833729)
  * debian/patches/always_replace.patch:
    - right now, always replace the current WM as it seems that some people
      got another compositor running at the start of the session. This will
      hopefully workaround the issue that some people experience.

compiz: OpenGL window and compositing manager

 Compiz brings to life a variety of visual effects that make the Linux desktop
 easier to use, more powerful and intuitive, and more accessible for users
 with special needs.
 .
 This metapackage provides the components necessary for running compiz. It
 provides the compiz core, a set of standard plugins, a window decorator using
 the Gtk toolkit and the files necessary to integrate compiz with the GNOME
 desktop environment.

compiz-core: OpenGL window and compositing manager

 Compiz brings to life a variety of visual effects that make the Linux desktop
 easier to use, more powerful and intuitive, and more accessible for users
 with special needs.
 .
 Compiz combines together a window manager and a composite manager using
 OpenGL for rendering. A "window manager" allows the manipulation of the
 multiple applications and dialog windows that are presented on the screen. A
 "composite manager" allows windows and other graphics to be combined together
 to create composite images. Compiz achieves its stunning effects by doing
 both of these functions.

compiz-dev: OpenGL window and compositing manager - development files

 Compiz brings to life a variety of visual effects that make the Linux desktop
 easier to use, more powerful and intuitive, and more accessible for users
 with special needs.
 .
 This package contains the headers and libraries needed to compile compiz
 plugins.

compiz-gnome: OpenGL window and compositing manager - GNOME window decorator

 Compiz brings to life a variety of visual effects that make the Linux desktop
 easier to use, more powerful and intuitive, and more accessible for users
 with special needs.
 .
 This package contains files needed to integrate compiz with the GNOME desktop
 environment.

compiz-kde: OpenGL window and compositing manager - KDE window decorator

 Compiz brings to life a variety of visual effects that make the Linux desktop
 easier to use, more powerful and intuitive, and more accessible for users
 with special needs.
 .
 This package contains a window decorator that uses KDE to provide a look and
 feel similar to that of the default KDE window manager.
 .
 NOTE: this package is empty for now. It needs some upstream maintenance to
 upgrade to a newer API. It will surely get removed soon if no enhancement
 is available.

compiz-plugins: OpenGL window and compositing manager - plugins

 Compiz brings to life a variety of visual effects that make the Linux desktop
 easier to use, more powerful and intuitive, and more accessible for users
 with special needs.
 .
 This package contains the standard plugins that come with compiz.

compiz-plugins-default: OpenGL window and compositing manager - default plugins

 Compiz brings to life a variety of visual effects that make the Linux desktop
 easier to use, more powerful and intuitive, and more accessible for users
 with special needs.
 .
 This package contains the default compiz plugins we activate in ubuntu coming
 with core compiz.

libdecoration0: Compiz window decoration library

 The window decoration library is responsible for drawing the window borders
 and title bar of windows managed by Compiz. It is used by window decorators
 like gtk-window-decorator and kde-window-decorator.

libdecoration0-dev: Compiz window decoration library - development files

 The window decoration library is responsible for drawing the window borders
 and title bar of windows managed by Compiz. It is used by window decorators
 like gtk-window-decorator and kde-window-decorator.
 .
 This package contains files required for developing window decorators
 compatible with Compiz.
