Title:
  Error when enabling visual effects in appearance preferences under
  Gutsy

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  In the Visual Effects tab of the GNOME Appearance preferences,
  selecting "Normal" or "Extra" visual effects pops up an error dialog
  box with the message: "The Composite extension is not available".

  This is not a very helpful because it does not give any further
  instructions on what needs to be done to get visual effects working.
  For example, Ubuntu could automatically download and configure XGL.

  In addition, it is integrated into the GNOME Appearance applet so one
  would EXPECT it to work out of the box, like any of the other tabs in
  the applet.

  If the feature is not going to be supported on my hardware, the radio
  buttons should be greyed out and a suitable message displayed with the
  reason why I cannot access them.

  The graphics hardware is ATI Mobility Radeon X1350.
