Oops, sorry. I am a member of a lot of mailing lists and I didn't
notice that this was the Mandriva list (I know, I SHOULD have notied,
sorry), so forget about apt-get. It was quite some time ago I used
Mandriva last time, so I don't even remember if this thing is
installed by default, but look in your package manager if not. At
least I remember that I used Compiz Fusion with Mandriva maybe two
years ago, so=E2=80=A6
