I disagree. Running compiz.real directly only makes sense if you know exactly
what you're doing. Running without arguments won't do much good, starting it
without running gtk-window-decorator is not what you'd normally want.

I don't like this alternative very much because it will probably duplicate a
lot of code in the wrappers.

This is more like what I had in mind. Ideally the wrapper should just Do The
Right Thing dependending on which server/driver combination is running.
