  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.

Hi,

A quick update: this first upload got automatically rejected because of
differences in Debian & Ubuntu multi-arch implementations. A re-upload
as -2, without multi-arch bits, was accepted by ftpmaster:
  https://tracker.debian.org/news/824674

even if an RC bug was filed right away so that the copyright file would
receive an update before the package is allowed in testing:
  https://bugs.debian.org/848545

I think I've addressed most if not all copyright issues with the recent
-3 upload:
  https://tracker.debian.org/news/824918

The package also FTBFS on armel/armhf, which I filed for reference as:
  https://bugs.debian.org/848617


There's still work to be done, but compiz is now back in unstable, which
should be a nice first step for a wider adoption as an accessibility
tool; thanks should go to the Hypra company who funded my work in this
area.


Cheers,
