Reply #91: It's pretty easy to disable now

I find I have to turn off desktop effects twice, once for compiz and once for the default Fedora desktop effects (using the same shutdown applet, no less!) to get rid of the effects completely- which, like you, I have to do for some things. Oddly, GL apps like Blender seem to have no issues running with the effects turned on. That said, games like CNC3 under Wine do sometimes need to have the effects turned off.

Compiz-fusion makes Window$ Aero look like a rushed, two-bit, amateur hack job by comparison. I say that in all seriousness.
