XGL / Compiz
Registered by

XGL / Compiz should be an (default?) option during install or dist-upgrade. There should be a script or .deb that configures the setup. No editing ni text files to get eye-candy...

This is implemented in Feisty. Compiz is installed by default (though it has to be enabled).
In Gutsy this is enabled by default if your graphics chip is capable of running it
