NAME
       compiz - OpenGL window and compositing manager


SYNOPSIS
       compiz [options] [plugins]

DESCRIPTION
       compiz  is  a wrapper around the real compiz.real binary that automati‐
       cally sets up everything needed to properly run compiz on a Debian sys‐
       tem.

       In  order  to use the X server’s accelerated indirect rendering (AIGLX)
       capabilities, the wrapper will call compiz.real with the necessary com‐
       mand-line arguments.

       If  the package compiz-gtk is installed, the wrapper will automatically
       start the gtk-window-decorator.

       The wrapper will also check if  the  compiz-plugins  package  has  been
       installed  and  load the gconf plugin which will in turn load the stan‐
       dard set of plugins.


AUTHOR
       The compiz wrapper was written by Thierry Reding <thierry@gilfi.de> for
       the Debian project (but may be used by others).
