This was brought up before, but as we're now shipping NVidia drivers,
are we planning on including compiz fusion on the default CD? The
packages themselves are under 5 Mb, and the "Wow" factor is a big big
advantage when demoing OpenSolaris. (It could be off by default and
can be switched "on" either by selecting the grub entry, or clicking
the icon on the desktop)
