2. What is the nature and description of the request? CU needs ccsm package in RHEL6. The desktop effects configuration dialogue in RHEL6 offers turning it on and off, and simple settings for a few of the main plugins. There are some annoying effects/behavior which are unconfigurable (easily) without ccsm, and many plugins available on RHEL6 which can't configure (graphically at least) at all. 3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) Customer has approx 550 Red Hat clients / desktops. Many of their users utilise graphical products and tools. As compiz has been made on RHEL6 and works (with the NVIDIA driver installed) they require some means to allow us to configure it, other than scripting gconf hacks. They have found that the Fedora 12 ccsm tool does work in RHEL6 (Fedora 12 uses the same version of compiz) and would like to request ccsm be ported into RHEL6. Without it, using Compiz in gnome is a very frustrating experience for them. e.g. The Compiz Scale plugin (a clone of Mac Expose) will activate every time the user moves the mouse to the top right hand corner. This is regular occurrence for anyone trying to close a maximised window! With ccsm or a cut down version thereof they would have the capability to control how the plugins work. As it stands they have product, but no sensible means to configure it. 4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functtional requirements here) Include ccsm package for RHEL-6 5. For each functional requirement listed in question 4, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented. They will install the 6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla? No 7. How quickly does this need resolved? (desired target release) This is not a blocker issue for RHEL-6.1 so I will say RHEL-6.2 will be the desired target release. 8. Does this request meet the RHEL Inclusion criteria (please review) Yes 9. List the affected packages compiz 10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? yes
