[gutsy] Wrong pathfolders in /usr/bin/compiz executable

Bug Description

The pathfolders put into the compiz executable are wrong. In facts:
COMPIZ_BIN_PATH is set to /usr/local/bin but the default package installs the compiz file in /usr/bin
Same with the plugin pathname, which is set to /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib
Due to this issue, Compiz fails to start and exits with the following message:

/usr/bin/compiz: 378: /usr/local/bin/compiz: not found

This is not true, we set COMPIZ_BIN_PATH, PLUGIN_PATH, and COMPIZ_NAME in /etc/xdg/compiz/compiz-manager which overrides the values in /usr/bin/compiz. You've apparently either installed compiz from another location (not Ubuntu) or managed to delete this file.

Changed in compiz:

Hmmm... That's strange.. I'm sure I didn't manage to delete anything and surely I installed the version from the official gutsy repo, not from another location.
Anyway, I copied the values from /etc/xdg/compiz-manager.ubuntu to /usr/bin/compiz and now it starts properly.
I really don't know why in my case those values seems to be not overrided.
Thank you for the answer.
