Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Compiz Tweaks

As I have already mentioned in an earlier post, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my computer... and I am quite happy with it.

However, some things have changed since previous versions. For instance, you now cannot move a window to the other desktop by just dragging it. I guess they removed the feature to not confuse inexperienced users.

Since I used that functionality a lot (and also the desktop switch with the mouse wheel) I looked for a way to get it back. Here are the shell commands I ended up with.

gconftool -t string -s /apps/compiz/plugins/vpswitch/allscreens/options/next_button "Button5"
gconftool -t string -s /apps/compiz/plugins/vpswitch/allscreens/options/prev_button "Button4"
gconftool -t bool -s /apps/compiz/plugins/wall/screen0/options/edgeflip_move "1"
