The Cube Efffect [was: Yanking the Window Shade]

[Billy Crook]

It's in the Fedora repo's.  Here's what I used.

Installed Packages
ccsm.noarch                              0.6.0-4.fc8            installed

If you're leading an installfest, you probably already know this, but use:
sudo yum install [package] [anotherpackage] [and so on]
for each package you want to install.  You can drop the .noarch and .x86_64

Make sure you're using the nvidia driver.  Start 'compiz-manager' to
start compiz fusion.  Use 'ccsm' to configure all of it.  After
installing all this, ccsm will be on the gnome panel at
'System'>'Preferences'>'Look and Feel'>'CompizConfig Settings
Manager'.  Emerald configuration is available at
'System'>'Preferences'>'Emerald Theme Manager'.  Compiz does window
management and the compositing.  Emerald supplies alternate window
decoration with a pretty big catalog of themes.
