** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
  In the current version of compiz in Natty (beta 1), the dbus-plugin
  doesn't work. If inspected with d-feet, the org.freedesktop.compiz entry
  exists, but contains no methods and attributes. Compiz itself is working
  fine.
  
  I'm using a new sandy bridge chipset with onboard intel graphics.

  ==============================================================
  Update regarding the state of the dbus plugin in Compiz 0.9.10
  ==============================================================
  
  Following works:
  
  - fetch current settings
  - modify settings
  - activate and deactivate actions.
  
  Now, following things don't work:
  
  - the list method (a list of option object paths for a plugin)
  - plugin metadata
  - introspection
  
- Patches by the community are welcome.
+ Most of the broken features are not essential for this plugin to be
+ useful.
+ 
+ The list method is the most important but not essential since the object
+ paths are always constructed with same pattern:
+ /org/freedesktop/compiz/*plugin*/screen0/*option_name*. You don't need
+ the list method to find the object path.
+ 
+ Plugin metadata is not that useful unless you are building a compiz
+ setting editor and don't want to use python and compizconfig.
+ Introspection is just a nice addition - not critical to the usage of
+ dbus plugin.
+ 
+ Patches by the community are still welcome.
