Is it a good idea from the Gnome Developer to forgot Compiz and write new one like Mutter ?
Compiz is the fastes and very Notebook friendly. Is there any chance to get compiz running on Cinnamon ?

Re: Cinnamon forgot Compiz
Cinnamon is a fork of gnome-shell, it uses mutter and is not compatible with compiz.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

Just use Gnome 3 Fallback/Classic, it works perfectly with compiz

Re: Cinnamon forgot Compiz
Get Gnome 3 Classic, ( Gnome-FAllback_Session) get Compiz, get ccsm, get fusion-icon to switch to compiz and put fusion-icon into your startup applications, .
Then enjoy the good old look and feel of G2 under G3 without mutter and Gnome-Shell in the background.
This is how Cinnamon should work, I don't see a point in spending immense amounts of time and energy to make Cinnamon look and feel like something that already exists form of Gnome3 classic.

P.S. To configure the Gnome 3 classic panels under Compiz, you have to press super(windows)-ctrl and the right mouse button

because most likely next march (gnome3.4) or sept (gnome3.6) the fallback mode might not be around anymore;HardyH wrote: This is how Cinnamon should work, I don't see a point in spending immense amounts of time and energy to make Cinnamon look and feel like something that already exists form of Gnome3 classic.
as soon as gnome-shell works without hardware acceleration (the work already started and F17 probably will bring that "feature" by default more info here) the gnome-team devs can
Gnome can phase out some components that are only kept alive because they are needed in the fallback mode, which allows more resources to be focused on improving Gnome 3.

Re: Cinnamon forgot Compiz
Well, for Gnome 3.4, Gnome Panel is still around, and before Gnome 3.6 comes to Debian, there's enough time for some apt-pinning.
Besides that, Cinnamon is a fork, right? So who cares about Gnome 3.4, .5 or .6 when it's a fork anyway?
And when the Gnome devs drop Gnome Panel, then they prove to be liars, cause Vincent Untz said last year, that the Fallback mode will be kept over the lifespan of Gnome 3
