Cursor trail plugin

[mikedee]

Well it seems like some people think that there is no eye candy or pointless plugins in compiz.

Here is the proof that they are wrong ;) - Not that this is exactly eye candy, but it is pointless

It does NOTHING useful, it just makes some wierd trails come from your cursor.

Ill post it because I found it in my tmp dir and someone might want to make a flaming cursor plugin or something from it.

I think there is a problem with the GL code because it has a strange effect on transparent windows.

hmm if there will be some mouse gestures plugin, then this plugin will not be pointless ... it can looks like casting spells, some trail when moving mouse cursor and some effect when start a command ....

Mikedee made a mousegesture plugin.
