some cards doesnt require the env export (eg: nvidia) .. and for
fglrx, it require a LD_PRELOAD to a library file from fglrx driver
package instead (I heard XGL no longer required .. I dont have any ati
cards , couldnt test it) ..

aiglx-default.patch and tfp-server-extension.patch already removed the
requirement for  LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT .. so this is no longer a
problem ..

those 2 patches were taken from compiz 0.3.6 src.rpm btw ..

about the gnome-wm patch .. aint that need to be applied in
gnome-session rpm?? ..

I just added fusion-icon packages into the repo .. fusion-icon is an
app similar to beryl-manager ..
