cannot enable manually installed plugins after update

[ramkumail]

I installed 3d windows plugin and snow plugin long ago in gutsy.I upgraded to hardy and I cannot enable those two plugins. If i check them in ccsm it automatically gets unchecked. uninstalling and reinstalling compiz did not help.
I guess my plugins is in ~/.compiz because snow picture path in ccsm point to it and in ~/.compiz/plugins i see two files lib3d.so and libsnow and in ~/.compiz/metadata 3d.xml and snow.xml.
I see 3d.xml as well in /usr/share/compiz but not snow.xml. What should i do to correct this problem. I can as well live without these plugins if necessary. please don't hesitate to ask for more info if necessary. Thanks in advance.

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/goal/snow/.git/
fatal: Unable to look up anongit.compiz-fusion.org (port 9418 ) (Name or service not known)

Thanks. May be the proxy I am behind is restricting. I went to http://gitweb.compiz-fusion.org/?p=fusion/plugins/snow;a=summary and downloaded the master snapshot and installed. It works fine now.
