When you try to see how far (and slowly) you can move a window without it "letting go" of whatever its edge is touching.

When you keep trying to balance the desktop cube on one of the "edges" by dragging a window to the screen edge... very slowly...

When you open menus on windows computers and get impressed of how fast the menus open, and then think "I wish Linux menus opened that fast".

... You launch Google Earth and get a big black screen anytime you rotate the Earth. Compiz sucks for that.

...when you hold down ctrl+alt+left (or right), spinning your desktop cube rapidly around and around and then let go, trying to get the cube to land on a particular workspace.

...and repeat it until you get it.

When you try to find that magic point where you can place a window in a corner of your desktop to get it to constantly wobble trying to snap to an edge.

Anyone else ever see this?

When the 3d effects r so common to u that u assume they r parto of every OS and can't bear to use an OS which doesn't have them. (This happens to me when I use Windows or OS X)

I got int the habit of wobbling windows when I'm waiting for something. When I used a Windows machine I still tried to make them wobble.

That would be a cool plugin - magic 8-ball. Ask a question, hit a hot-key and the cube spins. When it stops, your random answer pops up. Someone head over to the compiz forums and suggest that - I'm at work. :)

When the only real reason you have a Windows vm is so you can set fire to it.In our living room here atm there is a 22" a 19" and big TV that all do the Compiz thing,Those kids of mine cant see anything but they want it.:)

You also know when you`ve not had enough Compiz..... when you go buy new GFX cards,purely for pixel shading abilities,and the silly Water effects they provide:-\"

...you're in class, and deliberately start drawing fire on your screen just to get your classmates to react.

...you keep trying to change view ports... in Win7.

...you spend over an hour trying to create a "perfect color theme" that you're bound to change in a week or month anyway.

...you forgot why you signed on, because you got distracted messing with the ccsm.

...you spend 30 minutes imagining the reactions of people you'll never show your computer to anyway. lol

...when your girl falls asleep in your lap while you're showing her compiz effects.

...when you turn on your Linux box for no other reason than to see the Compiz effects.
