Also forked gnome2-globalmenu, as mate-globalmenu
Updates 14/Oct:
- forked simple-ccsm 0.8.8 for mate after adding a patch to make it run with libcompizconfig 0.8.8
- updated fusion-icon to list simple-ccsm. New screenshot added.
- no more blacklisting cards. compiz-mate-gtk wrapper script tries indirect rendering before falling back to marco.
- marco window properties ("windows" in control center) working under compiz now. New screenshots added.
- Cleaned up mate-globalmenu source-base (removed all vala/xfce stuff), now on github
- Update mate-globalmenu debs source tarball based on updated dist from github

This software is experimental, use at your own risk.
All Debian packages are distributed with '3.0 (quilt)' source package format, which you can use to build your own binary packages.
All sources' jars/tarballs are original, untouched from upstream, and only modified with patches in debian/patches during build.
The only exception is mate-globalmenu source, as the changes to it were too many to maintain in patches.
