Messing around with Compiz [Pinguy OS 11.04]

Hi all. This is just a screen cast of me playing around with Compiz on PinguyOS 11.04. In this video I will be showcasing and explaining some of the more useful features of Compiz. Including including the Expo and Scale plugins. When recording the video I forgot to show off the Grid plugin (similar to Aero Snap) but it works great in Ubuntu 11.04 and Pinguy 11.04. Some of the 'bugs' I allude to are mostly minor ones, mostly about edge+middleclick not being able to change desktops, as well as the Cube plugin not working properly, and some settings i've had to adjust to get fullscreen apps to run without lag. The bugs *should* be fixed in the 0.9.5 release of Compiz that will be coming out with Ubuntu/Pinguy 11.10 , but they will be present in 11.04 proper.

Please forgive the tearing and choppy animations as I am recording at 15 FPS.

For those interested, I am using the following theme settings:
Theme: Oxygen Molecule
Icon Set: Oxymentary Monochrome
Window Decoration: (Custom Emerald Theme)
