Bug Description

The visual effects tab under system -> appearance in ubuntu gutsy has a new custom option. When selected this provides the same effects as the extra option unless the package compiz-settings-manager is installed. This should be installed by default, or a prompt should ask to install it when the custom option has been asked. Or at the very least some notification should be provided informing the user that compiz-settings-manager is necessary for custom effects.

Same for me.

I don't think this "custom" button was available at first though, but I don't remember when it appeared.

happened within the last week i believe. Anyone know how to make a patch to fix this. Unfortunately I don't. Also we should probably mark one of ours as a duplicate. I don't know what the standard practice is for that here. The other is older so maybe this should be marked a duplicate of that?
