Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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
