Sebastien, this has nothing to do with dependencies. Let me recapitulate the issue for you:
After the default installation of Ubuntu, we have three options available in the Visual Effects tab of gnome-appearance-properties: * None * Normal * Extra In Gutsy, after you installed compizconfig-settings-manager, you additionally got * Custom AND a button labelled with "Preferences" The Preferences button would open up ccsm. Because ccsm is considered too confusing for the usual user, Hardy introduced simple-ccsm (which is nothing but a simplified interface to ccsm and thus depends on it). That means, the "Preferences" button now opens up simple-ccsm. However, neither ccsm nor simple-ccsm are installed by default (and nobody says they should). Now comes the problem: in Hardy, you have to install simple-ccsm to make BOTH the "Custom" option as well as the "Preferences" button appear. That means, if you have only ccsm installed, you won't be able to turn Compiz off in the Visual Effects tab, because you do not have an option to turn it back on, without losing your settings (Normal and Extra are prefabricated profiles). Because of that, the user has to install simple-ccsm even if (s)he doesn't need/want it (and know about the change from Gutsy to Hardy in the first place, which nobody appears to do). There are two solutions now: 1) Never hide the "Custom" option (no matter what is installed) 2) If ccsm is installed, show the "Custom" option but not the "Preferences" button (which will finally appear when installing simple-ccsm) Solution 2) was the one I proposed 2 months ago. But now that I think about it, I prefer solution 1) because there's no need in hiding the Custom option (itself) in the first place and there's also the possibility to configure Compiz via gconf. I hope this will clear things up.
