I hope the name Compiz sticks. It's a very good name for a composition

Animate the Desktop with Xgl and Compiz (Linux Journal) Posted Sep 18, 2006 17:11 UTC (Mon) by Los__D (subscriber, #15263) [Link] I would guess that the ideas of Compiz are going to be merged into more usable WMs...
Don't get me wrong, I use and LOVE Compiz, but it doesn't really integrate in neither GNOME or KDE. In GNOME, it has it's own gconf keys, and doesn't follow the keysettings from the normal configuration. It's even worse for KDE, as it doesn't use gconf.
Quinnstorms version even uses her own csm thing instead (backstep, in my mind), so GNOME integration is just as bad with those packages.
Generally, I'd like to see Metacity, and... Ehm, KWM(?) get a plugin system that could load the Compiz plugins, so that we don't have to have a non-intergrating WM, but still get the benefit of common effects...
