I'm now enjoying using gnome-do. Only thing is that I found metacity compositing made my system feel quite sluggish, especially when using alt+tab to switch windows. I've now gone with xcompmgr and it seems much more responsive (although still not as good as no compositing). It remains to be seen whether the slight performance loss is sufficiently compensated for by the shiny goodness of gnome-do... Thanks for this helpful tutorial. I’m now enjoying using gnome-do.

To do this enable the gconf key /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager via $ gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true Keep in mind that there is a bug which breaks enabling compiz after that. So if you like to have compiz back you have to deactivate compositing in metacity... $ gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager false Or you enable metacity’s compositing features.

Just run gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true I use standard metacity compositing for this.

Just run
gconftool-2 -s –type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true
