[Sam Spilsbury <smspillaz@xxxxxxxxx>]

A small note, the linked branch fixes the problem in the case where
compiz starts up after the root window is set, but you won't be able to
change it while compiz is running because there isn't any reliable way
to get a notification when a background pixmap for a window changes
(XDamage will report changes to the root window every time a subwindow
changes which kills performance, Expose events wont be generated because
all subwindows have been redirected)
