after I applied some of the patches from previous compiz package (with
some modification in it) , and a little one-line patch in
desktop-effects.c to load gconf plugin properly , desktop-effects is
now back working .. but gnome-wm need some modfication to make compiz
start on login

I didnt apply the patches before because they was being rejected ..

Like dragoran said, I also agree that ccp is a better choice ..
because if we insist in using gconf, desktop-effects and gnome-wm need
to do checking whether to load ccp or to load gconf plugin .. plus,
the compizconfig-settings-manager requires user to use ccp plugin and
it doesnt work with gconf plugin (compizconfig-backend-gconf != gconf
plugin) ..

for ccp, desktop-effects surely requires patching because the current
desktop-effects is using gconf and not libcompizconfig ..

after some checking, I noticed fuse-libs is now standard in
installations .. erm .. guess we dont need to split them then .. but I
havent tested to yum it from a clean system .. so I might miss
something

after the patch, the env var no longer requires exporting ..
