Bug#390814: please remove --strict-binding --indirect-rendering from compiz wrapper



Package: compiz
Version: 0.0.13+git20060928-2
Severity: normal


I'm using compiz with the binary NVidia drivers.  At this HOWTO page for
getting compiz to work with the current version[1], it says you don't
need to use --indirect-rendering (and in fact, that it limits the number
of extensions exposed by the driver).  Instead, the page suggests simply
starting with "compiz --replace --use-cow gconf".  For those of us who
aren't using AIGLX in stock Xorg drivers, would it be possible to remove
--strict-binding --indirect-rendering from the wrapper script?

To be honest I'm not really sure why the wrapper is present at all, and
perhaps it should be renamed compiz-wrapper instead of renaming the
binary to compiz.real.
