Ignoring the blacklist
Some times you want to start compiz-manager even though compiz-manager blacklists it, this is easy enough:
SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz-manager
Or in the case of distributions that name the script 'compiz':
SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz
You can also store this value, where it is depends on your distribution, usually it is a matter of putting
SKIP_CHECKS=yes
in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager .
