How to Install compiz in Fedora

Compiz is one of the first compositing window managers for the X Window System that uses 3D graphics hardware to create fast compositing desktop effects for window management. The effects, such as a minimization effect and a cube workspace are implemented as loadable plugins. Because it conforms to the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual standard, Compiz can substitute for the default Mutter in GNOME or KWin in KDE.

To install compiz in fedora

1. Become root user.
su -

2. yum install compiz compiz-gnome emerald emerald-themes fusion-icon compiz-fusion-extras compiz-fusion-extras-gnome compizconfig-backend-gconf

3. You can enable it by
System -> Preference-> Desktop Effects and selecte Compiz

4. You can edit settings by
System -> Preference ->CompizConfig Setting Manager

Note: Tested in Fedora 13. Need internet connection.
