  2. Actualy, compared to what i see in these videos, mutter seems still smoothier in gnom-shell but maybe it's because it's a screencast :S

    1. You have to install mutter, but i don't suggest it because it's not stable and it will install other packages that you don't need.

    2. You can now find it via ppa-daily

    3. Oh yeah I installed it, but at the moment the only cool effect I can see is the one when launching/closing app's and the other when open a contextual menu, but I lose scale and expo, and also the effect of maximizing/minimizing app's is terrible. I will wait until they do something better. It is smooth as hell but it's too limited. Thanks for updating your blog, I visit it several times a day hehe.
