  Description     : Compositing "3D" window manager

 From https://launchpad.net/~compiz-team :
 .
 Compiz is an OpenGL compositing manager that use
 GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap for binding redirected top-level windows
 to texture objects. It has a flexible plug-in system and it is
 designed to run well on most graphics hardware.
 .
 Okay, this description isn’t really meaningful. In a nutshell, Compiz
 is a compositing manager, which means that it enhances the overall user
 interaction by adding fancy effects to your windows, from drop shadows
 to awesome desktop effects like the Desktop Cube or the Expo view.
 Compiz can also be a window manager, which means that it is the
 software between you and your desktop apps. It enables you to move or
 resize windows, to switch workspaces, to switch windows easily (using
 alt-tab or so), and so on.
