Colorblind support

[cmpgm88]

Greetings!

I hear that it is possible to filter the colors such that a person with colorblindness can see the colors that they'd normally be blind to, like red and green. What's the easiest way to do so under Ubuntu 9.10?

There is a compiz experimental plugin that can do that, but I can't get it to work properly. I think it is a good idea to make a good working application for this (because about one in twenty males is red/green colorblind, like me).

p.s. for the not colorblind people; you can find out how colorblind people see the world on this webpage:
