- gnome-session fails to detect compiz capable card when using ltsp + gnome-wm erroneously detects card as compiz capable |

From the LTSP development side, if we could have:
1. A compiz script that returns true/false if the local client is compiz-capable AND
2. An environment variable to tell the server on the desktop NOT to use compiz (the inverse of SKIP_CHECKS)
We could resolve the bug on the LTSP client side.
