Beryl supports this via a nasty hack as I'm to understand. Dave Reveman
opposed including it in Compiz as he was working on a non-hack solution,
which is present in the development version of Compiz (currently
available in your Fedora Development repo and thus in F7). Ergo, a
complete non-issue unless you have bugzilla entries to show me wrong?
