Yes, developers do lurk on this list, but if your query is directed
towards CCSM itself you should use the appropriate
community@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.


As for your question, I don't really understand what you mean - are
you saying that for places where there are "too many options" only the
most "important" ones should be available first?

In that case, I would say application designers should really focus on
providing only important configuration modules. Compiz is a special
case since it was designed with full configuration in mind.

CCSM does not ship with Ubuntu linux. You should instead use Simple
CCSM if you wish to make basic configurations to Compiz.

Cheers,
