Bug Description

[Impact]

An existing compiz plugins stopped working. It is important for users that might have been using the plugin before.

[Test Case]

1. Open ccsm
2. Enable the firepaint plugin
3. Use the initiate button/keybinding
   - Make sure there is a fire effect (or other particle-like effect)

[Regression Potential]

No obvious regression potential.

Original description

firepaint doesn't seem to do anything any more, other than dim the screen.

Strange, because I tested it a couple of times in recent months.

  This branch contains the code to make compiz work on GLES. This includes
  several changes to the compiz API.

I'm using intel graphics right now and it doesn't work. But I'm sure it worked in the gles2 branch at least with other drivers.

I am doing some work on porting firepaint to OpenGL|ES. (I split the GL_QUADS to GL_TRIANGLES and replaced glDrawArrays etc. with GLVertexBuffer). I will post it when I get free time from university commitments.
