XGL + Compiz on Fedora Core 5

Well, I could finally get this working on my system! I cannot access the internet from within Linux :( That's the reason for such a long delay. I had to actually download the entire yum repository for XGL/Compiz from office and take it my home PC. But, all's well that ends well! It works great! There is no noticeable lag, and all the animations are smooth.

For installation, I simply followed the instructions given here. Instead of using yum, I installed the rpms manually. There were only a few minor hiccups related to rpm dependencies, but nothing too great to report about. Screenshots coming soon...
