Fusion-icon is a nice little icon that sits in your system tray that allows you to load window managers, window decorators, access to Compiz options and easy access to Compiz/Emerald settings.

You can easily obtain it by:

1) Install git-core.

sudo apt-get install git-core

2) After installing, you need to grab the code. Run this command:

git-clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/crdlb/fusion-icon

3) It should download stuff into a directory. Cd into that directory.

cd fusion-icon

4) Let’s make and install.

sudo make && sudo make install

Any problems?  Comment.

    Thanks. It worked.

    Thanks, it seemed to have worked. Altough the icon is not as great as I expected (rather small and with a white background), perhaps it has something to do with this warning message:

    Updating Gtk icon cache.
    sh: gtk-update-icon-cache: not found

    I have installed it before using this HOW-TO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601310
    Then fusion-icon worked flawlessly and it had a nice big icon. However I had some other issues with my ATI graphics card so decided to do it over. Now I don’t have any hardware glitches anymore but my fusion-icon isn’t what it used to be … *sigh*. At least it works.
