Compiz-Fusion and "3D Windows" plugin

[Adam K Kirchhoff]

Since that's my quote below, I thought I'd chime in with my 2 cents worth :-)  
My information is from a conversation I had with Maniac (Danny Baumann)  on 
IRC.  We walked through a few things, made sure bcop was up to date, checking 
the source file and the .cpp file for the symbol, and he came to the 
conclusion that cpp was not working properly.  I did not have a chance to 
follow up with him again and by the time the opportunity presented itself, 
compiz-fusion 0.7.2 was out, and I decided to wait and see if that release 
made it's way into the ports tree before bringing this up.  However, if 
Maniac is right, and this is a bug in cpp, I'm guessing that the version of 
compiz-fusion won't impact this bug, and it would be present anyway.

If I see him on IRC tomorrow, I'll try to poke at his memory a bit about this 
problem and see if my memory on the conversation is correct.
