Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Since Unity with Ubuntu 11.04, there's no way to enable desktop effects w/o Unity. The tab in gnome-appearance-properties is missing, and setting Compiz as window manager in GConf doesn't work either. A workaround is adding "compiz --replace" as a startup application, but it would be nice if we had an easier and more consistent option again.
