Option System

Options are stored in ~/.config/fusilli/banana.xml (you can change this file using the --bananafile parameter of fusilli)

You can edit this file directly, but it is easier to use the GUI configuration tool - fsm (Fusilli Settings Manager)

Changes to Compiz

• CCSM was removed and replaced with FSM.
• The gtk window decorator (fusilli-decorator-gtk) now supports marco-1.8 instead of metacity.
