@Omar,
Hi, thanks for your interest!
I indeed missed a step in the instructions, sorry for that.
* After git-cloning the repo, you should cd into directory containing the file "gconf.c"
And then compile , make, backup ubuntu libs, install
$ cd ..
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ metacity --replace
$ for file in /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgconf.* ; do sudo mv $file $file.backup ; done
$ sudo cp settings-backend/.libs/libgconf.* /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/
$ compiz --replace
Don't forget that in order to compile that, you need to have installed these two packages (with dependencies):
compiz-dev libcompizconfig0-dev
and probably "build-essential" package too.
I've just followed my own guide with success, on Ubuntu Lucid, since after updating my modified library was overwritten, and now I'm enjoying again right-click window-resize :D
Please Omar, report any results you got, and we're going to be a step closer to get it submitted upstream.
@Omar,
Hi, thanks for your interest!

* After git-cloning the repo, you should cd into directory containing the file "gconf.c"
So, (note the 2nd line added)
$ git clone git://anongit. compiz. org/fusion/ compizconfig/ compizconfig- backend- gconf backend- gconf/settings- backend/ launchpadlibrar ian.net/ 39947363/ resize- with-right- button. patch with-right- button. patch
$ cd compizconfig-
$ wget http://
$ patch < resize-
And then compile , make, backup ubuntu libs, install compizconfig/ backends/ libgconf. * ; do sudo mv $file $file.backup ; done backend/ .libs/libgconf. * /usr/lib/ compizconfig/ backends/
$ cd ..
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ metacity --replace
$ for file in /usr/lib/
$ sudo cp settings-
$ compiz --replace
Don't forget that in order to compile that, you need to have installed these two packages (with dependencies): 0-dev
compiz-dev libcompizconfig
and probably "build-essential" package too.
