Hi,

(before continuing, keep in mind that I'm an apprentice since one week,
so please forget me if I seem too presumptuous) 

0.9.x series is an unstable series with major modification
between release and some tools (such as the decorator emerald) are not
yet available.

So I would prefer doing it in 2 steps :
 - update current compiz to 0.8.8 (and if possible, backport it to
   mageia 1) and importing emerald
 - when 0.9.x series will be more stable, upgrade to 0.9

WDYT ?
