please count this as a +1 to the install by default to compiz

Cheers

+1 here too.
The option should be there as it will work for some people who have Intel or other video cards and some people will be happy with its lack of keyboard shortcuts or whatever. It also safe to have there in a default install as it will check to see if it can enable desktop effects and fall-back to standard Metacity if it cant.

On the wish list though, it would be nice if one day it automatically checked on session start and automatically enabled them.
....Or maybe it dialogues the user to say that "Desktop effects are available - Enable them now?"
