Description:"What is Compiz?
Compiz is a compositing window manager that uses 3D graphics acceleration via OpenGL. It provides various new graphical effects and features on any desktop environment, including Gnome and KDE.

* Window management has never looked so enticing: Through OpenGL accelerated compositing, Compiz provides tons of new visual effects. It's also flexible enough so you could easily add more through a plugin system.
